Speaker 1 Hey, pardon my take listeners. You can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube.

Speaker 6 Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

Speaker 1 What's up, guys?

Speaker 7 It's Big Cat here, making my Irish entrance with proper number 12 Irish whiskey.

Speaker 8 How do you make an Irish entrance, you ask?

Speaker 2 It starts with a shot of proper number 12 Irish whiskey because real friends don't let friends Irish exit a party without a story to tell.

Speaker 8 Original proper number 12 is rich in a smooth blend of golden grain and single malt.

Speaker 1 Age four years in bourbon barrels.

Speaker 14 Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger.

Speaker 7 In the mood for something smooth but a little sweeter, try proper Irish Apple, a delicious blend of proper's award-winning Irish whiskey with crisp, fresh notes of apple.

Speaker 15 So get out there and make your Irish entrance.

Speaker 2 Anything else just wouldn't be proper.

Speaker 16 On today's part in my take, we have the finale of Chill Week and an awesome interview with Rob Mack.

Speaker 38 Happy Free Slurpee Day. Happy 7-Eleven.

Speaker 43 Yeah.

Speaker 44 There we go.

Speaker 42 That's huge for everyone.

Speaker 45 Yep.

Speaker 22 So we're out here in Tahoe.

Speaker 44 Great week. Great week.

Speaker 46 We crushed it.

Speaker 38 So chill.

Speaker 1 I feel like we had a great chill time, made some great videos, did some great interviews.

Speaker 47 And also we announced that we're writing a book.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 38 Ultimate Future Us problem.

Speaker 35 Oh.

Speaker 38 So announcing that you're writing a book is the funnest part of writing a book. Oh, yeah.
Now we got to write a book. Yeah.
And you know us.

Speaker 38 If you've listened to part of my take over the years, you know that a couple things about us. Number one, we love to read.
It's like our favorite thing. Yep.

Speaker 38 Number two, we're very punctual with following through on every single commitment that we ever make.

Speaker 48 And I promise it.

Speaker 49 He hasn't done the dinger's only thing. Yep.

Speaker 38 So, Max, you don't need to grab the mic. It's okay.

Speaker 50 It's just a fact that you haven't done the punishment.

Speaker 28 People are heckling him, by the way.

Speaker 1 There was a guy yesterday.

Speaker 38 Oh, no.

Speaker 52 Whatever you do.

Speaker 38 Don't do that.

Speaker 35 He's like, when is Max pitching?

Speaker 53 You see him out and don't ask him why he's not doing the

Speaker 29 no

Speaker 38 the guy asked me and i he's like when's max pitching i was like oh he's right there go ask him and he went up to him when's max pitching but yeah we we love to read and so we want to we want to share that joy with the uh the awls but no we we've been approached several times over the years to do a book we've taken a lot of meetings and we've ended up canceling the books at the last minute several times, which always feels great to do.

Speaker 38 Yes. But this year, it's going to be the 10th year anniversary next year.
So going up into next year, we have to start working on a book. It felt like it would be the right time to do it.

Speaker 3 Yeah, 10 years of pardon my take. It's been crazy.

Speaker 12 It's been awesome.

Speaker 20 And we're like, hey,

Speaker 35 we didn't want to write a book.

Speaker 12 Yeah, I mean, I think there's been like three or four times PFT and I have taken meetings about books and we've always just been like, no, we don't want to do this.

Speaker 24 It's like stupid.

Speaker 8 We don't want to have

Speaker 58 be like, hey, go buy our book.

Speaker 18 But then it's like 10 years, that's a lot of history.

Speaker 12 That's a lot of stories that we're going to tell.

Speaker 12 A lot of memories, maybe some unreleased photos, all that type of stuff.

Speaker 57 Hank and empty the vault.

Speaker 43 Yeah, Yeah, Hank's in empty vault.

Speaker 46 Hank's going to write an entire chapter without the use of autocorrect.

Speaker 53 Yeah, it seems like you guys have just been already like pawning off this book. You're like, oh, this is going to write a chapter.
This person's going to write a chapter.

Speaker 53 This person's going to write a chapter.

Speaker 25 I woke up this morning and we had a text from our good friend Scott Van Pelt to PFT and I.

Speaker 26 He's like, congrats on the book.

Speaker 8 And by the way, we have not written a single word.

Speaker 26 We have not done anything.

Speaker 66 So there is no congrats right now.

Speaker 45 But I immediately replied. It's not good to hear, though.

Speaker 30 I was like, yeah, yeah, you're right, Scott.

Speaker 38 I immediately replied to hard work.

Speaker 57 I immediately replied to Scott and I was like you know that you have to write a chapter for us so he's he's in so uh it's like somebody congratulating you because your wife's pregnant.

Speaker 55 Yeah, it's like yep, I did it.

Speaker 48 Yeah, I look at me. There we go book we wrote a book but yeah, it no we are going to write the majority of the book.

Speaker 16 Well, we have a ghostwriter.

Speaker 67 He's going to talk with us then write some of the book then we're going to write some of the book then we're going to interview the ghostwriter and write a chapter of that in the book.

Speaker 38 But he has the ghostwriter is going to have to write the chapter about himself

Speaker 38 after interviewing us about our interview with the ghostwriter. Correct.
But no, I think instead of, you know how we used to do back in the day, do you wash your apples to every guest?

Speaker 38 I think we have to add a question to every interview. Will you write a chapter in our book? Yes.

Speaker 48 To every guest. Yes.

Speaker 5 Yeah, it's going to be the dumbest book ever created.

Speaker 69 And it's not going to be, it is.

Speaker 68 Like, I don't want to, we're not going to write like a...

Speaker 12 tell-all that's like super serious. It's going to be stupid.

Speaker 42 I had the idea yesterday, like every 20, 25 pages will be just a different quarterback kneeling in victory formation, letting you know that we're trying to run out the clock to the end of the book and just get as many pages, you know, in this book.

Speaker 38 Yeah, we do want to include some good stuff in that.

Speaker 5 Oh, we're definitely going to include some stuff.

Speaker 71 You will know the ghost right now.

Speaker 38 Like, we're going to take being lazy very seriously. Correct.

Speaker 72 When it comes to writing.

Speaker 3 It's going to be fun.

Speaker 65 There's going to be some, like, we're going to have some, some of the people that mean a lot to us.

Speaker 40 They won't have to write full chapters, but we'll have them interviewed, tell them, they'll be able to tell their side of it.

Speaker 4 But yeah, it's going to be done.

Speaker 69 We don't want it to be, we want it to be dumb.

Speaker 51 Yep.

Speaker 1 We want it to be stupid.

Speaker 38 Uh, big font, double-spaced, word searches, maybe crossword puzzles.

Speaker 38 There might be a chapter that's just a full, it's a full chapter of just indentation, a maze, yeah, where it's just like the it's blank page, blank page, and then it's the start of the paragraph, end of the chapter.

Speaker 38 Yeah, no, it's gonna be fun to do, I think. Uh, excited to get into it, but again, we're saying that as two guys that have not started writing the book yet.

Speaker 76 Yes, correct.

Speaker 38 But I look forward to the challenge.

Speaker 49 Yes, we do.

Speaker 23 Um, all right, what do we have?

Speaker 1 So get excited.

Speaker 11 It's going to be probably next, late next summer. Yeah.

Speaker 77 What was that, Hank?

Speaker 52 What was that, Hank?

Speaker 31 Well, here's the problem.

Speaker 72 We actually do have deadlines that they like.

Speaker 73 Yeah.

Speaker 78 They're really.

Speaker 53 Everything you guys just described.

Speaker 29 Nothing sounds like next summer.

Speaker 38 No, it's going to have to be next summer.

Speaker 55 It has to be.

Speaker 72 There's deadlines.

Speaker 35 And they like.

Speaker 80 I feel like people miss deadlines.

Speaker 5 We're going to miss deadlines.

Speaker 38 You know what they do in the publishing industry if you don't hit a deadline?

Speaker 80 I have no, I have.

Speaker 16 they kill you that's why they call it a deadline yeah your hank and i could be like the last people on the planet to know anything about the publishing industry that's why it's well guess what the third and fourth people who know like we don't know anything we've just taken a couple all i know is we've taken a few meetings with people that feel like they're way more adult than us and i don't want to disappoint those people

Speaker 42 that that's fair to say right i think that's completely fair to say like people with their shit together are going to be like hey we need this and And then we're going to have to, we're going to get to a fork of the road where PFD and I just stop responding to these people and pretend that we never said anything about this and never did anything and have to give back the money.

Speaker 7 Or we're going to actually have to write a book.

Speaker 23 That will be the interesting point.

Speaker 38 You might have to delete this podcast.

Speaker 52 Did Patrick show? It's like, we never said that. Yeah, actually.

Speaker 35 We should have said that. Then we'll get

Speaker 38 so many people who congratulate us on not having to write a book.

Speaker 38 We'd probably hear more from those people.

Speaker 87 Dude, we should just.

Speaker 4 Hey, you know what?

Speaker 49 Here's the other announcement.

Speaker 55 You thought about canceling the book.

Speaker 16 No, no, no, no.

Speaker 88 I'm thinking something different.

Speaker 16 I thought, because

Speaker 38 I thought about it right now.

Speaker 48 No.

Speaker 37 And

Speaker 43 no. You want to just say fuck it? No, no, no.

Speaker 50 I was going to go one more.

Speaker 89 Think about it.

Speaker 23 We wrote a movie.

Speaker 68 It's going to come out in a couple years.

Speaker 41 So everyone should congratulate us.

Speaker 52 Just get congratulations for shit we're never going to do.

Speaker 79 We're going to talk about that.

Speaker 38 It's going to be a movie based on the book. Yeah, right.

Speaker 34 We opened a restaurant.

Speaker 18 Congratulations, sauce.

Speaker 90 Okay.

Speaker 91 I'm kind of addicted to just getting congratulated for shit.

Speaker 54 We're never going to. Every kid

Speaker 38 in my hometown that went to my elementary school, I'm going to give you a full ride to college.

Speaker 92 The people who

Speaker 72 are responsible for getting this book made are going to freak when they hear this.

Speaker 37 Yeah.

Speaker 35 Because we're very close to canceling.

Speaker 38 What if we just said it, though? Think about it.

Speaker 35 It would clear up our schedule significantly.

Speaker 38 It would be the Van Talk of books.

Speaker 23 Yeah, and we have all the power. Yeah.

Speaker 42 Because we'd just be like, no, we're not going to write it.

Speaker 38 And they haven't given us the money yet.

Speaker 48 Right.

Speaker 53 15 years.

Speaker 53 Better number.

Speaker 52 15 years. Good point.

Speaker 77 Yeah.

Speaker 54 20 years?

Speaker 38 That hits better.

Speaker 9 Oh, man.

Speaker 88 Zach?

Speaker 23 You guys see? Yes or no?

Speaker 93 On the book? Yeah.

Speaker 81 I think you should go book. Maybe you should go big font, you know?

Speaker 37 Okay.

Speaker 69 But you hold the power right now. If you say no, we will cancel the book.

Speaker 81 You should do what. You should do the book.
I don't think you should put a time for it. He's been paid off.

Speaker 65 I think you should rush it.

Speaker 43 You're in the pocket of the the book.

Speaker 79 I've never rushed our publisher.

Speaker 28 But he's been paid off. Yeah.

Speaker 38 We should also release a spark notes on her book.

Speaker 29 Oh, definitely. Yeah.

Speaker 37 It's called a podcast.

Speaker 48 Did we just write a book right now?

Speaker 75 Oh, should we go for lowest book sales ever?

Speaker 38 Okay, we sell one book.

Speaker 96 Well, there's going to be

Speaker 53 more listens to the audiobook.

Speaker 71 Yeah. We sell one.

Speaker 35 Serial Connolly's doing the audiobook.

Speaker 38 But it's like part of the threat

Speaker 38 where somebody pays $3 million for the one copy of our book.

Speaker 51 Yeah, yeah, we could do that.

Speaker 41 We do know some wealthy guys might want it.

Speaker 78 All right.

Speaker 97 What's going on in Sports World?

Speaker 19 Anything that we need to talk about?

Speaker 5 We have a seventh.

Speaker 38 We have a huge, huge sports day today.

Speaker 56 Yeah.

Speaker 38 Bronnie versus Flag.

Speaker 49 Did it already happen?

Speaker 38 It's tonight. Well, it's tomorrow.
It's yesterday as the show comes out. Thursday night, Summer League.
Okay.

Speaker 81 Bronny versus Scooper Flag.

Speaker 38 Huge matchup. Who's the face of the league?

Speaker 97 Who should have been the face of the league should have been.

Speaker 38 Who is the face of Summer League?

Speaker 22 Okay.

Speaker 3 All right.

Speaker 42 So it starts in an hour as we're taping this.

Speaker 66 I think Cooper Flag went off.

Speaker 38 I think he did too. Yeah.
I think he's better than we thought he was.

Speaker 42 I think he's significantly better than we thought he was.

Speaker 38 Now that he got away from Duke.

Speaker 74 Yeah.

Speaker 52 What else? Oh, Brent Rooker is in the home run derby, so we have seven out of eight now.

Speaker 8 That's huge.

Speaker 26 I mean, announce them.

Speaker 24 Is he going to do this this to us? Is he going to do it to us? Yeah.

Speaker 38 Okay. Who else are we looking at?

Speaker 38 Besides the guys that have been announced, who else is up there in terms of home runs hit this year?

Speaker 17 Why isn't Aaron judging it?

Speaker 2 He should do it. Aaron Judge should do it.

Speaker 31 Did you guys see Juan Soto

Speaker 42 complain? Like he was mad that he didn't make the all-star game because it cost him money.

Speaker 40 And I think it cost him $100,000.

Speaker 42 He makes like a...

Speaker 49 quadrillion dollars.

Speaker 79 Yeah, that's okay.

Speaker 38 He'll be fine.

Speaker 57 He just, he's all about that money.

Speaker 49 $100,000.

Speaker 38 uh yeah wait what was it uh what do you think i think it's a lot of money on the table if i make it hundred thousand dollar bonus would be point oh oh one three one of his current salary okay so he will probably make that amount of money just in the times like bitching about not being on the all-star correct in his investments correct okay correct um all right wait so seven out of eight when are they gonna now see eighth

Speaker 58 the pop on yellich would be

Speaker 42 they they would the numbers would be pretty big on MLB for the like just the retweet sometimes who else is out there PCA

Speaker 42 PCA could do it. He had two today

Speaker 3 Judge got 25

Speaker 26 What who was that?

Speaker 101 What was that Max?

Speaker 80 You whistled you said he's on my dingers only team.

Speaker 38 I think that's huge.

Speaker 34 I think Kyle Schwarber Well, you can't talk about dingers only until you pitch.

Speaker 74 That's fair.

Speaker 79 Last word.

Speaker 80 Last word I'll ever say until I pitch. Yeah

Speaker 29 Schwarber.

Speaker 65 Schwarber would be great.

Speaker 80 Schwarber's already said that he doesn't want to do it.

Speaker 38 Shut up, Max. You already said that you were done talking about it.

Speaker 92 That's

Speaker 29 more words.

Speaker 77 Those are more words you just used.

Speaker 50 This is home runs. You just add words.

Speaker 80 A home run derby and dingers only are two different things.

Speaker 46 It's dingers.

Speaker 80 It's not only dingers.

Speaker 103 The home run derby is quite literally only dingers.

Speaker 38 It's literally dingers count.

Speaker 96 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 80 But it's not our fantasy baseball.

Speaker 37 No more words. Okay.
Shut up, Max.

Speaker 9 No more words.

Speaker 73 The Thunder signed all their players.

Speaker 55 Yep, they did.

Speaker 38 Well, Caruso.

Speaker 3 Yeah, they need to get Crusoe. Is he next?

Speaker 38 He must be. So, yeah, they gave out a con, what was it, $270 million, five years?

Speaker 81 Is that what the term is for?

Speaker 49 For Jalen Williams?

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 12 I think it was $287.

Speaker 42 And then Check got paid, too.

Speaker 26 That was, was that...

Speaker 39 When did Check get paid?

Speaker 51 Yesterday.

Speaker 10 Okay, so they, so the Thunder in total have given $822 million

Speaker 11 in contracts to those three guys.

Speaker 38 It's pretty good. Money's not real.

Speaker 26 Money is not real.

Speaker 42 And there's a lot of people who are trying to say that this will be the the end of the Thunder because you can't pay all three guys.

Speaker 42 But I think what their plan is, and it might work, is that they have so many draft picks, they'll just keep drafting and not paying those guys and then pay their three guys.

Speaker 34 Yeah.

Speaker 3 And hope the role players, like, hey, you're going to play well if you get drafted, get paid very little money, but you get to play with three really good players.

Speaker 38 So what do all these contracts mean for the apron?

Speaker 9 I don't know.

Speaker 49 They might be in prison.

Speaker 38 Prison? Prison. I got to get a look under that apron.

Speaker 51 Yeah, you got to get under that apron.

Speaker 3 Do we have any other sports news?

Speaker 17 Najee Harris.

Speaker 63 Najee Harris

Speaker 50 does have both eyes.

Speaker 72 Yes. I think.

Speaker 38 He had a, quote, superficial eye injury.

Speaker 51 Yes.

Speaker 38 But is expected to be back for training camp. With a superficial part of the eye, wouldn't that be the eyelid injury?

Speaker 68 Maybe his eye.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that would be.

Speaker 38 Because, like, your eye is not superficial.

Speaker 104 Yeah. Right?

Speaker 38 Or I guess maybe he just scraped the skin of his eye.

Speaker 35 It doesn't sound good. He's just got a little boo-boo.

Speaker 53 His eyes were closed and a firework blasted him in the face.

Speaker 105 Huh.

Speaker 38 Why would you close your eyes during fireworks, though?

Speaker 53 Because one's coming at your face.

Speaker 38 Yeah, true.

Speaker 22 We also had, I think people are fat-shaming Patrick Mahomes again.

Speaker 54 Yeah, they are.

Speaker 38 Well, and his trainer is threatening to beat anyone up.

Speaker 99 Oh, that's fat. That fat shaman.

Speaker 49 That's awesome.

Speaker 38 He keeps saying, like, drop your location. He's like five guys.
I like this move by his trainer. That's a good guy if you're Patrick Mahomes.
Yes. Okay.

Speaker 38 He's got a little beer belly, dad bod, whatever.

Speaker 16 Still good quarterback.

Speaker 38 In fact, I would prefer if my quarterback didn't have like an eight-pack. Yeah.
It's way too much time working on your core.

Speaker 24 Yeah.

Speaker 2 It was a Kansas City radio host rips disgrace Patrick Mahomes for offseason dad bod.

Speaker 9 What does it matter?

Speaker 79 Patrick Mahomes. Yeah.

Speaker 48 He wins.

Speaker 39 I mean, it would matter maybe like later on in his career if he if he's like out of shape and gets injured, but

Speaker 2 if he he went to, he's gone to three straight Super Bowl. He went to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 38 He did get beaten up in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 97 He did get beaten up in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 32 But I don't think

Speaker 42 that this has to be like Kansas City sports radio, like you got to have something, but like realize that you have it pretty good and there'll be a day that will come 10 years, 15 years from now where you'll be like, yeah, maybe I shouldn't have nitpicked the guy who brought all this success to our city.

Speaker 38 Yeah, I'm going to guess that it's not necessarily coming from inside the house. I think most of the accusations of fat are coming from other teams.

Speaker 38 And that could actually be great for a Kansas City Chiefs fan because the last five, six years, you've just had to invent reasons why people hate the Kansas City Chiefs and why people doubt you.

Speaker 38 Now, you actually have people making fun of your quarterback. Now, you've got an actual person to be mad at.

Speaker 71 Yeah, other than Will Compton.

Speaker 49 Yeah, Will Compton. Yeah.

Speaker 37 Okay.

Speaker 49 Anything else?

Speaker 38 Sports-wise?

Speaker 106 No one?

Speaker 46 It's July, baby.

Speaker 38 I just can't wait for Summer League. You know me.
Yeah.

Speaker 42 Our interviews are great today.

Speaker 49 And

Speaker 58 we've been kind of out of pocket.

Speaker 42 I mean, I haven't watched anything all week because we've been working.

Speaker 72 Yep.

Speaker 42 You guys seen any?

Speaker 15 I don't know if I've seen any sports.

Speaker 38 I saw some baseball highlights.

Speaker 53 Little Summer League, a little WNBA.

Speaker 38 Yeah, I did watch them at Brewer's Game when The Miz was pitching.

Speaker 74 Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 38 Filthy Mizness.

Speaker 82 You had to tune in for that.

Speaker 9 Oh, also, happy birthday to Mudang.

Speaker 17 One years old.

Speaker 48 I forgot about Mudang.

Speaker 51 Yeah.

Speaker 46 She got a little bit big.

Speaker 38 That's the problem with pygmies.

Speaker 29 She's like tortured.

Speaker 2 What did you say?

Speaker 53 Isn't she like a tortured animal?

Speaker 33 Why?

Speaker 19 She's in a.

Speaker 101 What are you talking about?

Speaker 53 They like take advantage of her.

Speaker 96 How so?

Speaker 19 Wasn't that a thing?

Speaker 39 What is it, Jeffrey Perlman or whatever? What was the guy's name?

Speaker 74 The boy band guy?

Speaker 30 Oh, Lou Perlin. Lou Perlin.

Speaker 53 Yeah, pretty much. They like wake him up and like force him to

Speaker 53 be awake when it's not supposed to be and you know take advantage of her.

Speaker 71 Where'd you get these facts?

Speaker 107 It sounds like what we do to Hank.

Speaker 38 It sounds like they wake him up and they make him like perform when he's not ready to be awake.

Speaker 89 They make Mudang awake.

Speaker 38 Mudang doesn't get to play golf anymore. And when he does, they just make fun of him for it.

Speaker 52 Where'd you read this, Hank?

Speaker 53 I remember when it was like when she was hot last year.

Speaker 51 She was under one, and you're calling her hot.

Speaker 53 So just like hot, like in the public, in the public space when you were posting her every day. Yeah.

Speaker 74 You were the pervert. No.
You're the pervert.

Speaker 53 You're posting videos of a one-year-old every day.

Speaker 29 It's cute.

Speaker 107 What is hippo years to human years?

Speaker 38 I don't know. I feel like they might be an animal that lives a long time because they just chill underwater and don't worry.

Speaker 108 It's

Speaker 69 a human years.

Speaker 38 I mean sea cow.

Speaker 38 No, that's manatee. I forget what hippopotamus is.

Speaker 3 Do hippos generally live 35 to 50 years, which is

Speaker 15 equivalent to around 36 human years.

Speaker 39 So a 10-year-old hippo would be roughly equivalent to a 27-year-old human.

Speaker 86 What?

Speaker 66 Okay. Oh, yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 38 So Mu Dang is like three almost. Yeah.

Speaker 59 So Hank, you just call the three-year-old hop.

Speaker 39 Just so you know. Howitzer.

Speaker 37 Ah, okay.

Speaker 23 We will, let's do our Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 49 Before we get to Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 38 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boars Head makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 38 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 38 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo style chicken paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 38 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 59 Okay, boys, Mount Rushmore of C words.

Speaker 97 Things that begin with the letter C.

Speaker 29 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 38 Oh, I thought I prepared for a different Mount Rushmore of C words. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 37 Yeah. Well, that could be on there.

Speaker 9 Dunham, see you.

Speaker 2 What's the score?

Speaker 33 Eight, nine.

Speaker 19 I don't even know what the score is.

Speaker 15 Just tell me the score.

Speaker 42 10, 8, 6.

Speaker 39 What was the phrase that we came up with that we're trying to

Speaker 110 stay strong?

Speaker 34 We're going to stay strong.

Speaker 81 Stay strong, don't.

Speaker 81 Stay strong, don't.

Speaker 111 Don't break. All right.
It doesn't feel like we've been.

Speaker 29 Maybe shorten that a little bit. All right.

Speaker 47 I don't know if our team is losing.

Speaker 112 We're still first. We're shaky.
We're shaky.

Speaker 75 Whose goes first?

Speaker 38 I think we're up first, first, right?

Speaker 89 We're last.

Speaker 8 Hank, you have the chance to do the funniest thing ever right now.

Speaker 74 Yeah.

Speaker 96 Number one.

Speaker 38 We're doing Christ?

Speaker 65 Jerry, you're ball. You're ball, Captain.

Speaker 60 Oh, man.

Speaker 38 Hank did put church down on the list.

Speaker 38 But I thought Christ would be a good one, but we're not going to go to Christ. We're going to go 1-1.

Speaker 38 chicks.

Speaker 37 Ooh, nice.

Speaker 38 Chicks.

Speaker 29 Chicks.

Speaker 38 God help me. I just love women.
Okay.

Speaker 50 What do you think about that, Hank?

Speaker 53 I love it.

Speaker 48 Yeah.

Speaker 48 Feeling good about that? Yeah.

Speaker 53 Okay.

Speaker 53 I mean, who amongst us? Who amongst us, maybe Zach, doesn't like chicks.

Speaker 93 Yeah, yeah. Oh, baby chickens?

Speaker 114 Is that the one? Were we talking baby chickens?

Speaker 81 Are we talking women?

Speaker 51 Women. Okay.
That's cool. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 34 But it's good that you clarified that.

Speaker 48 Just in case. Yeah.
Fair point.

Speaker 9 I think we go with R1-1-1.

Speaker 114 Right?

Speaker 51 I think so, too. Okay.
All right.

Speaker 47 We're going to go one, our first pick, we're going to go. College football.

Speaker 51 Yep, that was R1-1.

Speaker 94 Do you love college football?

Speaker 86 I love college football.

Speaker 38 Do you watch a lot of it?

Speaker 49 I watch a lot of college football. Okay.
All right.

Speaker 38 Why? Well, there was some debate last fall. What?

Speaker 38 Who was it? Somebody accused you of not watching that much college football.

Speaker 114 Who?

Speaker 38 I forget who it was.

Speaker 86 What?

Speaker 51 Yeah.

Speaker 53 I don't think anyone accused me of that. I remember that.

Speaker 35 Who was it?

Speaker 69 You guys are just making this up now, Hank, because you definitely don't.

Speaker 25 I I know your face better than anything.

Speaker 53 What? I remember 50s right.

Speaker 47 Well, we're doing a making stuff up draft.

Speaker 48 Okay, you guys are up.

Speaker 106 Yep. How you feel, Max?

Speaker 37 I might go rogue. I might go rogue.

Speaker 44 You guys need to go rogue because you're too good at this.

Speaker 15 I'm thumbsing up your message that you sent.

Speaker 50 They're too good at this.

Speaker 37 Go rogue.

Speaker 80 I think there's college football is a great pick. I don't know why we didn't think about this.

Speaker 51 We could.

Speaker 37 We're going to go college basketball.

Speaker 86 Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 71 College basketball is good.

Speaker 35 I also had that on the the list.

Speaker 38 And then the next is coffee.

Speaker 80 Yep.

Speaker 42 I knew it was going to get taken.

Speaker 97 That's okay.

Speaker 33 College soccer.

Speaker 56 Yeah.

Speaker 102 There goes college soccer.

Speaker 71 Well, I also

Speaker 111 was thinking about it.

Speaker 8 And if we had ended up with coffee and I had done a coffee meme like I always do every morning, Hank would have then accused me of possibly messing with the draft like you did.

Speaker 115 on Wednesday.

Speaker 53 I tweeted the picture of Jesus every morning.

Speaker 116 Their morning prayers.

Speaker 102 God is good.

Speaker 31 Okay, this is where we got to get to this is where we got to stay strong.

Speaker 5 Stay strong, don't break.

Speaker 43 Stay strong, don't break. All right, what do you think?

Speaker 110 I'm following your lead.

Speaker 18 You tell me what you think is going to be great here.

Speaker 53 Zach, just go row.

Speaker 114 Do we pivot?

Speaker 74 Pick what?

Speaker 51 I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 13 No, I don't.

Speaker 29 That's fine.

Speaker 101 Yeah, we'll back it down.

Speaker 18 I was going to say three here is good.

Speaker 72 Yeah. Yeah.
We both like that.

Speaker 86 Okay. Yeah.
All right.

Speaker 74 I like it.

Speaker 71 We're going to go chocolate.

Speaker 108 Okay. Chocolate.
Pick.

Speaker 51 Love chocolate.

Speaker 89 Very good pick.

Speaker 86 Thank you.

Speaker 38 I like her too. Yeah, we'll take cash.

Speaker 86 Mm.

Speaker 38 I had it on the list. Cash money.
Yeah. Cash is king.
Good pick.

Speaker 51 Hank, what do we do here for three?

Speaker 53 I think you let it rip.

Speaker 37 Let it rip.

Speaker 76 Cocaine.

Speaker 116 Okay. I had it on my list.
Cocaine.

Speaker 38 Hank didn't want me to take it. I had it on my list too.
And it's not good for you. You shouldn't do it, but it's pretty good.

Speaker 84 Yeah.

Speaker 10 I had it on my list too.

Speaker 53 Hey, I did not have it on my list, but I'm not sure.

Speaker 29 Hank did not.

Speaker 51 It's not a team game.

Speaker 114 Nine?

Speaker 86 Yeah.

Speaker 51 I think you're right.

Speaker 35 I want you to start playing.

Speaker 101 I want Zach to start playing.

Speaker 71 Oh, we're playing, boys.

Speaker 29 We're in here.

Speaker 92 All right. Go.

Speaker 81 We're next. Okay.
We would like to take

Speaker 81 Christmas.

Speaker 29 There you go. Good pick.

Speaker 53 Good pick. Good pick.
Good pick.

Speaker 51 I thought you were going to change it at the last second there.

Speaker 53 I thought it was all

Speaker 53 that.

Speaker 43 Yeah, I did. You did change.

Speaker 110 You can tell me after what you thought you thought you were going to pick.

Speaker 37 I can do that. Okay.

Speaker 33 All right.

Speaker 96 We can't get off track right here.

Speaker 43 You're right.

Speaker 99 We're on track. We're good.

Speaker 49 Stay strong. Don't break.

Speaker 80 We're going to go with

Speaker 37 cake. Oh,

Speaker 56 good pick.

Speaker 80 And

Speaker 29 this is tough.

Speaker 4 There's so many good C words.

Speaker 116 I know.

Speaker 80 I'm trying to think of.

Speaker 49 This is one where we should have

Speaker 29 broad or something.

Speaker 18 This is one we should have probably gone six.

Speaker 5 Everyone in the middle of the year.

Speaker 71 We could have broken this up because we will do.

Speaker 38 I'm so mad at the seeds that we left off.

Speaker 72 Yeah, because we are going to do that.

Speaker 22 I think at some point this summer, we're going to do a draft where we'll do a Mount Rushmore where all six of us have individual picks, but all the points count for the team.

Speaker 37 Gotcha. Okay.

Speaker 101 Do it.

Speaker 96 Rip it. I'm going to go cheese steak.

Speaker 53 Yeah.

Speaker 53 Great pick.

Speaker 33 All right.

Speaker 53 Great pick.

Speaker 26 Best food out there.

Speaker 38 Second time cheese steak has been taken in this room.

Speaker 43 Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Did the sandwich for the point? Yeah.

Speaker 71 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 37 That's right.

Speaker 29 Adam, um,

Speaker 9 I don't know, I don't know, I'm not staying strong anymore.

Speaker 43 You are, you are, you're strong, you're strong.

Speaker 50 You take turkey clothes, we'll get back to I'm looking, I'm looking at 13.

Speaker 43 It was, I was gonna, yeah, so I was thinking, yeah, but

Speaker 29 13

Speaker 53 workshop we got

Speaker 53 a lot of heat for that.

Speaker 29 Five is good 13, like 13 rips, but like, does that look a great sandwich?

Speaker 74 Oh, right, right, right, right.

Speaker 38 No, guys, I think this was the start of meatball, I think, for me.

Speaker 71 So 13, 4, and 5 are like...

Speaker 29 I would think every...

Speaker 30 We're not saying strong.

Speaker 45 We're breaking. We're breaking.

Speaker 38 Zach is turning Big Cat into Zach.

Speaker 29 I am.

Speaker 89 I can't. It's D and D all over.

Speaker 81 He's so strong over here.

Speaker 53 I'm not strong right now. Go five.

Speaker 26 I'm not strong right now.

Speaker 53 Time crunch, Zach.

Speaker 119 Give us...

Speaker 80 You ripped the fourth.

Speaker 16 Hank could be golfing right now.

Speaker 55 Zach, Zach, you take this bit.

Speaker 81 Yeah, Tom Crunch. I just took the last one.
He's going to take the fourth right here.

Speaker 112 Let's go. Go eight.

Speaker 92 Go eight.

Speaker 29 You can't go eight.

Speaker 57 I almost wanted to just not do a pick because I'm just, I'm so, I'm so frozen and I don't know.

Speaker 86 You just go.

Speaker 37 You go. Okay, fourth.
You go.

Speaker 29 You go. All right, yeah, fine.

Speaker 71 Zach's getting the ball.

Speaker 87 Fourth, we'd like to take cheeseburgers.

Speaker 29 All right. I like it.
Feel good.

Speaker 71 Yes.

Speaker 2 See, that was so good because I was paralyzed and I wanted to take cheeseburgers, but then I wanted to take another thing.

Speaker 51 So you just

Speaker 96 later. We'll circle back.
Yeah. Great job.

Speaker 34 You too. Same to you.
I think we stayed strong.

Speaker 53 Either or, those are two great picks.

Speaker 86 I think we have a point to to them.

Speaker 38 I like that. I've got to stay true to myself.
All right. Seven on our list.

Speaker 17 Candy.

Speaker 70 Good pick. Taking candy.

Speaker 38 Yep.

Speaker 78 So much.

Speaker 43 So much variety.

Speaker 53 Great fourth-round picks.

Speaker 84 You got chocolate.

Speaker 89 You got sour.

Speaker 38 You got Twizzlers. You got everything.
Candy.

Speaker 67 So what I was going to decide.

Speaker 81 Did we both get chocolate here?

Speaker 29 I think we take chocolate.

Speaker 29 All of them are strong.

Speaker 80 They're all strong.

Speaker 23 You guys.

Speaker 80 I think we're going to come in third. I think I have a good view of this.

Speaker 53 Which is the one. I wins one Mount Rush for the next one.

Speaker 80 What is it? Guys are going to be one.

Speaker 43 You guys are going to be two. We're going to be three.

Speaker 38 Steve Kornacki.

Speaker 29 I think it's going to be one, two, three.

Speaker 54 We should get him dressed up like Steve Kornacki.

Speaker 80 I have a good feeling of Mount Rushmores, and that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 88 No, you are the king of Mount Rushmores.

Speaker 38 You could actually create a Mount Rushmore of C's out of honorable mentions that could win potentially.

Speaker 71 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 38 There's so many good ones that would be.

Speaker 75 So, Wait, what were you deciding between?

Speaker 12 What did you almost go rogue with?

Speaker 76 10.

Speaker 48 You can say it.

Speaker 81 I was thinking maybe going Call of Duty.

Speaker 30 Yeah.

Speaker 111 it's a good pick, but it's a great one, but I think Christmas probably plays better than Call of Duty Christmas everybody.

Speaker 96 Well, you guys

Speaker 29 not everybody

Speaker 29 definitely

Speaker 35 I was gonna go Coming.

Speaker 38 Yeah, had that on the list you always give us shit for sexual, but we were I mean you guys went chicks first well we were gonna go chicks cash cocaine coming. We had all those

Speaker 38 and then we're just basically marketing to the audience of Dan Bilzerian.

Speaker 43 We're gonna go that vote.

Speaker 38 We had chilies.

Speaker 55 Chilies. Croikey.

Speaker 53 Chilies. I would have picked them croikey.
Chilies.

Speaker 46 I put the word croikey on the list.

Speaker 53 I have a bad word. Croikey.

Speaker 99 Castles.

Speaker 29 Castles. Castles.

Speaker 53 Corn.

Speaker 38 Cheese. Chicago.
Yeah.

Speaker 51 Cigarettes.

Speaker 80 I was debating between going cheese and broad or cheese steaks, but then I thought I was like, I get more excited to have a cheese steak than I do to have

Speaker 79 just

Speaker 53 a slice of cheese. Comedy.

Speaker 88 Yeah, we had comedy on there.

Speaker 41 We almost picked it

Speaker 49 with our fourth round.

Speaker 122 Couch.

Speaker 43 Couch is nothing better than a couch.

Speaker 80 We had cunnelingus. Yep.

Speaker 120 Yep. Yeah.
Yep. Corn.
You.

Speaker 52 We've done it too much this week.

Speaker 52 Chips and dip.

Speaker 38 Oh, chips and dip is good. Chips.

Speaker 4 Just chips. Chips.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we were thinking about it because, like, chips, we don't know.

Speaker 42 You get bad chips, too, but chips and dip.

Speaker 23 And then cool ranch Doritos.

Speaker 70 If you wanted to get specific or the goat.

Speaker 80 I thought about just doing college in general, but like.

Speaker 101 I did too.

Speaker 71 But you can't do a rocket.

Speaker 80 We put ourselves in a spot of like,

Speaker 80 you can't do college football and college. Correct.
I can't do college basketball and college yeah concerts concerts are great

Speaker 29 computers

Speaker 74 yeah zach had um cell phones computer cell phones stuck though because that yeah it just worked carne asada work zach had an interesting one

Speaker 51 oh

Speaker 80 one that would have been great is chilling with the boys yeah just chilling with the boys i didn't say this to memes but i thought it personally crank and hog oh that would have been good zach had one that i still don't really understand but i'll

Speaker 6 i'd like to say it and then you can just clarify, I guess.

Speaker 123 Construction workers.

Speaker 81 We have so much infrastructure to everything that we do.

Speaker 43 This building, all of our homes,

Speaker 81 all of the establishments we go to. I mean,

Speaker 5 the groundwork of civilization, all the construction workers deserve so much credit.

Speaker 78 Yeah, shout out.

Speaker 38 I also think construction equipment would have been cool, too.

Speaker 34 Yeah.

Speaker 43 Also, heavy duty stuff.

Speaker 46 Shout out Chevy. Chevy.
Chevy. Yes.

Speaker 71 Big time.

Speaker 80 That would have been a great pick. Yeah.

Speaker 100 Carbs.

Speaker 16 Carbs are great.

Speaker 29 We almost took carbs early, which I think would have been a mistake.

Speaker 103 Hank puts.

Speaker 5 His carbs kind of have like a bad.

Speaker 23 I love carbs, but a lot of people are like, oh, carbs.

Speaker 35 You got to limit your carbs.

Speaker 29 Fuck that. You got to eat.

Speaker 81 Those people are behind themselves.

Speaker 38 Hank put corner kicks on the list.

Speaker 53 Oh, hey. Just brainstorming.
Yeah.

Speaker 29 What about

Speaker 100 Cher calling a timeout?

Speaker 53 Credence Clearwater Revival.

Speaker 38 CCR. Banger.
Dion.

Speaker 80 Celine Dion. I had Carmen Electra.

Speaker 47 We had Charles Barkley.

Speaker 49 Zach put in Cristiano Ronaldo.

Speaker 29 Yep. Oh, no.

Speaker 51 Yep. Nessie.

Speaker 53 Chilean Seabass.

Speaker 4 Also, Zach put in Curry, Steph.

Speaker 24 You don't like Chilean Seabass?

Speaker 81 I don't know. Your pictures make me giggle.

Speaker 80 Chris Farley, Chris Rock.

Speaker 102 He had Chris Tucker. I like Chris Farley.

Speaker 46 Chris Farley's good pick.

Speaker 38 Chris Stapleton.

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 45 Cookies or candy.

Speaker 101 Yeah.

Speaker 72 Yeah, that was, we had that debate.

Speaker 38 More variety and candy.

Speaker 44 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 38 We had cops, the TV show.

Speaker 104 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Cards.

Speaker 80 But then you put cops. Then you put cops on a graphic.

Speaker 51 What do you got a problem with cops?

Speaker 80 No, but some people.

Speaker 71 You back the blue?

Speaker 23 Sounds like you have a problem with cops.

Speaker 80 I do not have a problem with cops. I back the cops.

Speaker 53 Some people do. If liking the cops is battering them.

Speaker 29 Some people do.

Speaker 55 Sounds like you got a problem.

Speaker 38 Christ and cops. That's what we're about over here.
Yep.

Speaker 80 You just said the same thing about carbs. What?

Speaker 80 The argument you are making is the same argument you just made about carbs.

Speaker 80 Some people will look at carbs on a graphic and be like, oh, but everyone likes the carbs. But you like carbs.

Speaker 29 That is incorrect. Who doesn't like it?

Speaker 9 Kind of got me cornered on that one.

Speaker 80 That was the quickest I've ever thought on my feet. Yeah.

Speaker 29 Literally ever. Yeah.

Speaker 90 I'm proud of you.

Speaker 52 Chargers. You submitted me fast.

Speaker 122 I was about to spiral and then for some reason I clicked.

Speaker 90 It's max evolving.

Speaker 38 Cars.

Speaker 51 Cars,

Speaker 51 cars in general.

Speaker 38 Cars.

Speaker 10 Cars and movie.

Speaker 55 Cars and movie.

Speaker 38 Well, you put it on the graphic. It's both.
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 32 Well, no.

Speaker 46 Cars and movies cars, I think, with an exclamation point.

Speaker 38 But you could also be very excited about cars.

Speaker 96 Yeah, true, true.

Speaker 43 True.

Speaker 66 I believe, I'm not 100% sure.

Speaker 59 Let me see.

Speaker 29 I don't know. Maybe I made that up in my head.

Speaker 38 What sales?

Speaker 49 I like to say croissants.

Speaker 24 We said cheese, right?

Speaker 51 Yep, we did.

Speaker 86 Yeah.

Speaker 8 Cars the movie is not exclamation point.

Speaker 112 I thought it was for some reason.

Speaker 101 A lot of good things out there.

Speaker 17 I'm going to see.

Speaker 38 Creeping somebody out when you're staring at them and they notice you stare at them. That's a good one.
That would have been a good one.

Speaker 43 Yeah, that would be a good one.

Speaker 86 Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 40 That's a good one.

Speaker 66 Connor.

Speaker 102 Great name. Charizard.

Speaker 52 Oh, yeah. Charizard.

Speaker 77 Charmander?

Speaker 53 Charmeleon?

Speaker 38 I honestly don't know the difference.

Speaker 53 You don't get Charizard without Charmander.

Speaker 38 So you hate kids. So you hate kids.

Speaker 53 You can't have Charizard without a Charmander.

Speaker 80 But Charizard is the most evolutionized form.

Speaker 102 Yeah, but a Charmeleon.

Speaker 53 Charmander gets it. Charmeleon is actually the.

Speaker 80 Yeah, but Charizard is the most valuable of all Pokémon.

Speaker 81 You got to respect the journey, though.

Speaker 80 You do have to respect the journey.

Speaker 79 You have to. That's good.

Speaker 80 That's a fair point.

Speaker 65 Crabs.

Speaker 38 Crabs is good.

Speaker 80 Eating ones. But then you, but I know.

Speaker 71 I thought about that, but then it's like crabs on a graphic.

Speaker 80 What does that mean?

Speaker 29 What does that mean? What does that mean?

Speaker 80 Crab legs, maybe. That would have been

Speaker 80 crab cakes. Crab feast.

Speaker 43 I love it. Crab cakes are delicious.

Speaker 48 Crab cakes. Crab crawfish.

Speaker 43 Yep. Crawfish are good.

Speaker 38 Yeah, so good.

Speaker 80 Chicken.

Speaker 28 No. Shout out to our Canadians.

Speaker 35 I don't think he's the least.

Speaker 54 No, yeah, but I like Canada.

Speaker 77 Yeah, it's fine.

Speaker 38 Could you put another country on Mount Rushmore, though?

Speaker 58 No, probably not. Yeah.

Speaker 40 Czechoslovakia.

Speaker 18 Chinese food.

Speaker 35 Oh, that is a big mess. Yep.

Speaker 70 Chinese food is a great call.

Speaker 48 That could have easily been a pick. Yeah.

Speaker 51 Shit.

Speaker 90 Fuck.

Speaker 55 Charcuterie?

Speaker 71 Yeah. Charcuterie's good.

Speaker 29 No doubt. Champagne.

Speaker 86 What were some of the other ones?

Speaker 124 Fuck.

Speaker 29 Championship. Championships.

Speaker 111 Championships.

Speaker 55 Fuck.

Speaker 53 I just completely forgot about that in the last, whatever.

Speaker 7 Championships.

Speaker 18 And the worst part about Mount Rushmore season is that we've listed 200 C words and we will still have like the first thing I'll see when I wake up tomorrow is someone saying something and me being like, how am I so stupid?

Speaker 71 Like the M-words, Monday Night Football, we forgot.

Speaker 59 And I felt like the dumbest person in the world.

Speaker 22 All right, here's the rest of

Speaker 46 Zach's list real quick.

Speaker 107 You can just jump in anytime to explain it.

Speaker 26 Okay.

Speaker 29 Catch.

Speaker 94 Yep.

Speaker 71 That plays.

Speaker 29 Carmelo Anthony.

Speaker 87 Yep. Sure.

Speaker 90 yeah right country music cola cola cola yeah um

Speaker 24 all right Good job, guys. Let's let's get to our interview.

Speaker 59 We got a great interview with Rob Mack, aka Rob McAlini from Always Sunny, and then our good friend Marty Fish, who hopefully is going to win this tournament.

Speaker 24 He's defending champ of the ACC.

Speaker 18 And then we'll finish up with Firefest.

Speaker 10 And that's the chill week.

Speaker 127 The Pro Football Football Show is presented by the Chevy Silverado. Built for the hustle, ready for the game.
Chevy Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck.

Speaker 127 Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 8 Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very special guest.

Speaker 63 It is Rob Mack, which is that official?

Speaker 83 Should we start?

Speaker 85 So Rob from Always Sunny, Rob Mack officially changed his name.

Speaker 35 What's the, is there a viral ad behind this?

Speaker 19 What's going on?

Speaker 17 No, there's no viral ad. I mean,

Speaker 17 there is a very brief... under 60 second explanation i would love to hear on online um that's easy to see okay

Speaker 17 But I can keep it quick for you guys. It's just a lifetime of

Speaker 17 mispronunciations, misspellings, misunderstandings, which is not that big of a deal. Right.

Speaker 17 And

Speaker 17 for years, I was asked, especially when I first started, would I consider shortening my name or changing my name?

Speaker 17 A lot of people, in fact, a lot of people you're not even aware of have changed their name when they get into my business.

Speaker 17 And I was always very proud of my name and said, no, you know, like, that's my family name, and I've had it for generations and I don't want to change it.

Speaker 17 And this year, I did a full like ancestry family tree and found out that my name has changed like seven times. Oh, okay.
Including when they got here

Speaker 17 at immigration at Ellis Island and they just changed the name completely. And they're like, no, this is what the name is.

Speaker 17 And then there was other sects of my massive Irish Catholic family that started spelling it in all sorts of different ways. So I decided, you know what?

Speaker 56 Fuck it.

Speaker 17 I'm just going to do it right now.

Speaker 32 Yeah, now you got a whole new way.

Speaker 17 And now it's so simple. R-O-B-M-A-C, the end.

Speaker 72 Yeah, that's easy.

Speaker 31 Do you feel different?

Speaker 17 I got to be honest with you, I do. Yeah.
I didn't think that I would. And it's something lighter.
It's, I mean, look, again.

Speaker 17 It's really not, and I addressed this in this stupid little video I made.

Speaker 17 There's so much going on in the world, and this is such a stupid little thing, but to even like spend your time thinking about.

Speaker 17 But, you know, when you're walking around and you walk into a hotel, for example, and you say, hi, and they say, name sir and you say mcalhenny and they look up with confusion and they should because it's ridiculously long and so many syllables and then you try to explain why it's not mac why is it mc and then is there a space i've been stopped at airports for 40 years where you know there's a space but there shouldn't have been a space there's a missing vowel right and i just decided rob mac so if your name's long like that and i i have a long last name as well but it just becomes something where you say

Speaker 38 McAlhanny and you immediately start spelling it for them. Exactly.

Speaker 29 Right off the bat, right?

Speaker 17 Yeah. And even there, you just mispronounced mispronounced it, and it's not your fault.

Speaker 49 Yeah.

Speaker 11 Because he was actually doing the third generation.

Speaker 37 Thank you. Fair enough.

Speaker 38 Yes. Sorry for dead naming.
Yes.

Speaker 30 Thank you. Yes.

Speaker 17 Believe me, I'm going to spend a lot of time calling people afterwards.

Speaker 50 Yes, you have to.

Speaker 17 Oh, almost immediately.

Speaker 7 Wait, but so when you decided to do this, were you...

Speaker 12 Was it always to be Mac or were you like, maybe I'll upgrade like Rob Powers or something.

Speaker 17 I wanted to make it as

Speaker 63 just like your five-year-old self be like, what do I want to be?

Speaker 17 I made this mistake in high school.

Speaker 17 My sophomore year, we had this wonderful teacher, and she said, she made the mistake of saying to 16-year-old boys, if you have a nickname that you go by, you tell me that, and I'll call you that for the rest of the year.

Speaker 17 And I was being, you know, a piece of shit. And I said, my nickname is Blade.

Speaker 17 And she heard, for some reason, Blaze.

Speaker 17 And I said. But then I freaked out.
And she said, Blaze. And I said, yes.
So then she called me Blaze for half the year.

Speaker 17 Except she spelled it B-L-A-I-S-E, not B-L-A-Z.

Speaker 52 So much worse.

Speaker 63 That sounds like a little girl in Nashville.

Speaker 17 Yeah, it seems like Bloves. Yeah, you don't want that.

Speaker 17 And then she noticed that all of my friends were calling me Rob, so she caught wind of that. And so I figured I'd just go keep it simple.
Rob Mack, R-O-B-M-A-S-A.

Speaker 46 Were you surprised that some people were mad about it?

Speaker 49 I saw the video and I was just like, oh, cool.

Speaker 71 He's Rob Mack now.

Speaker 48 Like, who cares?

Speaker 17 People hate change. Yeah.
People hate change.

Speaker 85 I can see the comments and some people are like, what are you doing?

Speaker 109 It's like, what do you care?

Speaker 72 Yeah. Your name.

Speaker 17 I figured there would be some

Speaker 17 blowback. And again,

Speaker 17 everybody's got an opinion about something, you know, and

Speaker 17 at the end of the day, I assume that most people would say the same thing, which is, it's your name, who cares?

Speaker 42 Yeah, you should change it like every year, just to see, like, can we get the dumbest controversy going?

Speaker 17 How can we upset as many people as possible? How can I really make it a giant narcissistic? Yeah. I mean, so it really is just to simplify things and to be able to walk into a room and say, RB, MAC.

Speaker 1 I appreciate it because we scheduled this interview like probably two months months ago.

Speaker 57 And I think at the moment that we scheduled it, I was like, all right, I got to figure out how to say his name.

Speaker 85 And then this happened a week ago.

Speaker 58 I was like, fuck. Yeah.

Speaker 71 Awesome. Yeah.

Speaker 17 Rob Mack. Yeah, it was always misspelled.

Speaker 17 And I was always correcting people, but that, you know, only in official capacities because sometimes you can't get on a plane or you can't check in somewhere. And then people would apologize.

Speaker 17 And I would always say, it's not your fault. It is a ridiculously long name and hidden vowels and whatnot.
And so it was always like a 30-second longer exchange than anything had to be.

Speaker 17 So you're like, you guys also have nicknames as well.

Speaker 71 Yeah, right.

Speaker 17 So it's a stage name.

Speaker 38 Your life is so much more efficient now. Did you think about going to MACK as opposed to MAC?

Speaker 17 Totally fair question. I really appreciate it.
I wanted to keep it as simple as possible. Yeah.
I just wanted just because then the silent K, especially,

Speaker 17 would maybe potentially add a little bit more confusion.

Speaker 38 That's fair. Okay.
Well, yeah, it's good to have you here. How's the golf game looking?

Speaker 17 I mean, I'm so sorry because

Speaker 17 I'm sure you guys have just been talking about this all day, but how can we be talking about my name or golf? How can we be talking about anything when the video of that man on the golf course? Yeah.

Speaker 38 I mean, the best. It's so sad to see.
The best.

Speaker 32 The bang, bang, bang.

Speaker 17 And I don't know what it is about my, what this says about me,

Speaker 17 but my feed on all of my social, all of my socials,

Speaker 17 almost as if I turned my phone on

Speaker 71 and it got pushed to me.

Speaker 17 Yeah. You know, you guys got pushed to me.

Speaker 17 Like that video got pushed to me on every single channel I i have and it is just glorious content it's it's not only the fact that the it's an ex-nhl enforcer just kicking the shit out of a guy who is being like way too aggressive but there's just something about like guys on a golf course in polos fighting that just it does it for me i maybe it's like a new ufc we could get like they do the slap maybe it's just golfers fighting it's uh they shouldn't be fighting you know it's like a very prestigious game and yeah banners and everything and then they're just throwing each other into lakes you see it from time You see it from time to time, but usually there's enough distance between people who are like upset with each other that by the time they close the distance,

Speaker 17 either cooler heads have prevailed, but most likely one guy saw the other guy and was like, nah, not today. In this case, that didn't happen.

Speaker 17 A drunken drunkstein did saw this six foot. I actually don't know how big the hockey player is.

Speaker 50 He's a big guy.

Speaker 38 He's a six.

Speaker 17 I could tell based on the accents. So as soon as I open it and I hear the guy's accent, and I'm like, oh, he's Canadian and he sounds like every

Speaker 17 hockey player I know.

Speaker 93 Yeah.

Speaker 17 And that's the way, not just their accent, but the way he's not necessarily de-escalating, but he's also not escalating it. He's saying, hey, man, like, just keep moving, keep moving.

Speaker 17 And then eventually the guy

Speaker 17 calls him, starts running towards him. And all he does is throw him in.

Speaker 103 He says, I'm going to throw you in the lake. Yeah.
He throws him in a lake. Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 11 It wasn't a de-escalation.

Speaker 3 It was just a calm, like, hey, I'm going to beat the fuck out of you.

Speaker 110 Yes. Keep going.

Speaker 17 Yeah, I don't remember who it was in the video who says, you're not scaring anybody.

Speaker 17 I think it was either the guy's friend who was filming or it was actually the hockey player. But either way, the calmness with which that was delivered,

Speaker 17 you're not scaring anyone.

Speaker 85 It's also never a good sign when the guy who's delivering the beating keeps saying like, enough.

Speaker 97 Yes.

Speaker 48 He's like, enough.

Speaker 23 You've had enough.

Speaker 17 There's a moment at which the buddy comes.

Speaker 17 in to maybe step in and you see that the hockey player grabs him and he could have given him a bang and he chooses not to in a split second and just kind of pushes him away.

Speaker 17 And you know,

Speaker 17 that kind of temperance. That's a noble piece.

Speaker 38 He also fought him like a hockey player. He grabbed him by the shirt and like held him.
I feel like the punches were targeted.

Speaker 38 He's like hitting him on the side of the head just like he used to do back in the league.

Speaker 17 And calling his own shots of A, throwing him in the river and then bang, bang,

Speaker 17 bang. It's amazing.
And you guys know enough hockey players. And to me, hockey players are some of my favorite athletes, especially to hang out with and to play golf.
Yes.

Speaker 17 And I don't know a lot of UFC fighters that play golf, but I have a lot of who are friends. And they are the funnest people to hang out with because they're the most chill.
They're so fun.

Speaker 17 Canadian, hockey players, and again, this is such a broad statement, but they tend to be either from Canada or from the Midwest and from the North. And they're just sweet people, kind people, until...

Speaker 17 They're not. I gotta give you the business.

Speaker 89 And they gotta bang you.

Speaker 38 Yes. Yeah.

Speaker 17 And they gotta bang them.

Speaker 38 I think what it is about golf videos, because for me, it's the same way with airport fight videos. I like watching those too.

Speaker 38 And the common space they share is you're probably not going to see a gun pulled out. Right? It's like if you're on a golf course, the guy's probably unarmed.

Speaker 38 You don't have to worry about watching a video, and it's just, it turns into like a snuff film that gets tossed in your algorithm. In the airport, you're through security already.

Speaker 38 So it's like, all right, just boys will be boys. Square up.

Speaker 28 I'm trying to think the other, the only other thing that goes up for it for like golf fight videos is when you get like the dudes on bikes, like the Lance Armstrongs in like the tight, the tight jerseys.

Speaker 41 When they fight, that's fun.

Speaker 49 Start kicking.

Speaker 25 Because you just look ridiculous if you fight in that.

Speaker 17 I've always wondered when you see like NASCAR drivers go at it. And because they're wearing helmets, they're still willing to throw down and hit a guy in his helmet.
But again,

Speaker 17 I know that we... I know I could speak for myself.
I like to believe I'm someone, but my algorithm tells me exactly who I am.

Speaker 17 So when I go to open up, you know, whatever it is, Instagram or something, and I look and I go to search and it says like, this is what you want. I'm like, no, no, it's not.

Speaker 51 Yes, it is.

Speaker 99 No, it's listen.

Speaker 17 We love it. I don't know why.
I like to watch people fight.

Speaker 17 I just do. I don't know what it's an instinctual thing.

Speaker 18 When I pull up my Instagram algorithm, it's usually just like big tits and like cheeseburgers.

Speaker 48 I'm like, they got me.

Speaker 29 They figured me out.

Speaker 29 They got it.

Speaker 43 Boobs and puppies right now. Yeah.
Those are my two.

Speaker 50 Yeah. Yeah, they got it.
Pretty good.

Speaker 38 But seriously, how is the golf game going?

Speaker 17 It's going okay.

Speaker 17 I have a very low bar. Last year was my first, I think it was the first tournament I've ever played in or I've never played in any of these official pro-ams.
And so last year was my first time.

Speaker 17 There were 90 participants.

Speaker 17 I came in 81st.

Speaker 38 So as long as you beat Charles Barkley, then I didn't.

Speaker 121 Oh,

Speaker 17 I didn't. I didn't.

Speaker 124 Oh, that's your caddy over there saying this year.

Speaker 52 Yeah, your caddy saying this year.

Speaker 17 I brought an actual caddy. Yeah.
Last year, I brought my butt,

Speaker 17 one of my employees, Brian, who is a great.

Speaker 17 Sorry, Brian, he's just sighed.

Speaker 17 He's my chief of staff, but he's not a caddy.

Speaker 78 Now I have an official caddy

Speaker 17 who I work with in Los Angeles. And this is the year I beat Barkley for Christ's sake.

Speaker 93 Yeah.

Speaker 19 Does that put a little more pressure on you, though, bringing a real caddy?

Speaker 42 It's like the guy in

Speaker 25 like men's league softball wearing batting gloves.

Speaker 66 Like you have to, if you don't perform, you have a real caddy with you.

Speaker 17 I think part of my problem last year was that I didn't feel the pressure. It was just fun.
Like, and I just got hammered and was like, ah, who cares?

Speaker 17 And then you start to care when you're negative 16, 17. 17.
And I'm watching that. And, you know, it's the opposite.
Usually

Speaker 17 you want to be below a bar. This is the stable for point system.
So I think I finished with negative 36 points. Yeah.
That's not.

Speaker 50 That's beatable.

Speaker 17 So I have that going for me.

Speaker 16 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 38 Have you told somebody that you shot minus 36 and then not clarified afterwards?

Speaker 17 Yeah, I told my wife hoping that she would take the bait and she didn't give a fuck either way.

Speaker 90 Is she changing it?

Speaker 17 She just didn't care. She never changed it.
So she was always, she always is.

Speaker 19 She should change it to McElhenney.

Speaker 17 Well, on her, some of her official documents, I guess it's,

Speaker 30 I feel really bad for her.

Speaker 17 It's Olson McElhenney. Okay.
And she wanted that because she wanted to have the same name as her children. So my kids now are McElhenney.
Oh.

Speaker 43 It's up to them.

Speaker 105 Oh.

Speaker 105 It's up to them.

Speaker 17 It's quite a pickle. It's a bit of choice.
Yeah, it's a bit of a pickle. But they're 15 and 13.
And again, they don't give a shit. Yeah.

Speaker 38 I heard that you're getting into business with a Mexican soccer team now. I am in business.
Decaxa, right? Yes. So I don't know if he still is working around the team.

Speaker 38 We know a guy, Sam Porter, that was.

Speaker 51 Oh, you know Sam?

Speaker 94 Know Sam very well. Yeah.

Speaker 38 So

Speaker 38 he sent me like a box of Decaxa stuff like three years ago. I like the logo.

Speaker 38 That's my limited knowledge behind the team.

Speaker 17 It's beautiful. Well, we have a television series that's going to be debuting in about a month.
It's in Spanish,

Speaker 89 but you can read, right? I can read. Great.
You can read.

Speaker 17 There's subtitles.

Speaker 96 You're writing.

Speaker 16 We're writing a book, yeah.

Speaker 37 Yeah, okay.

Speaker 17 actually you know you can read and write yeah yeah great ghostwriter though um all right so it'll be subtitled but it um it's the vast majority of it is in spanish i do my best um ryan doesn't speak any any spanish i speak a little bit enough um but it is about our journey with nakaksa and eva longoria so

Speaker 25 in and the this obviously spurned on from wrexham and what you guys have done with that where you guys you guys are in the second league now you're right yeah

Speaker 17 in championship right yeah

Speaker 44 it's pretty like

Speaker 35 that doesn't really happen.

Speaker 19 Have you had a moment to step back and be like, this, you know, you, when you buy an investment like that, and it's going to be a fun story, and you make a documentary, like, this could be really cool.

Speaker 42 You guys are just skyrocketed.

Speaker 17 Yes, it's been wild.

Speaker 30 I mean,

Speaker 17 it's never happened before in the history of English football. No team has ever gone back to back to back.
Yeah. And

Speaker 17 that's what we did this past year. It's crazy.
And so

Speaker 17 each year we get told, okay, well, now's the year where you slow down, you consolidate, you invest in other areas. And each year we say, no, we go all in and bet on the coach and the team.

Speaker 17 And it's worked out thus far.

Speaker 10 You guys are doing ownership right.

Speaker 11 Like, I would imagine the fans love this because it's revived this franchise.

Speaker 17 I spent a lot of time in the very beginning talking to a few owners who I'm friends with, Jeffrey Lurie, who owns the Eagles, just to ask him.

Speaker 17 But most importantly, I spoke to all my friends who are either pro-athletes or ex-pro-athletes to ask them what kind of relationship they would want to have with the owners if at all

Speaker 17 and so I did my research and and you know it's kind of great that we don't know anything about football I'll call it soccer because this is a yeah please do so we're wasting we don't know we don't we don't know anything about soccer we don't know anything about professional sports to be honest with you other than I like watching it so we can't there's no reason for us to be in the locker room.

Speaker 17 There's no reason for us to be talking about strategy.

Speaker 17 We can just be friends with the players and the families, and then we just invest in the manager and in the executives to make sure that they're all making the right decisions, and then we're just fans.

Speaker 121 Yeah.

Speaker 17 So it's kind of a perfect, it's kind of a perfect situation because we're not involved in any football operations. We're not involved in any of their deal making.
We approve the budget.

Speaker 17 But at the end of the day,

Speaker 17 you know, if a player isn't moving on with us, that's not my call. So it allows us to become really good friends with players.
Yeah.

Speaker 35 Yeah, that's awesome.

Speaker 42 So, I mean, you should coach at some point, just because that I feel like every owner, like when everyone says Jerry Jones is too hands-on, it's like, no, he's not hands-on enough.

Speaker 38 Like, I wouldn't want him, I'd call some plays if I love it when he does the press conference. I like real

Speaker 17 love to watch Jerry Jones put on the headset, yeah, but you know what? Fuck, you're out and play, go out and play, man.

Speaker 90 Yeah, why not?

Speaker 29 You can do whatever you want, great, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 17 So, we um, we, I, I'm very, very, very respectful of the fact that I cannot, it's amazing how many um owners or executives you see think that they're the ones that are

Speaker 37 doing it.

Speaker 32 They ain't, we ain't doing it.

Speaker 12 Especially new owners.

Speaker 19 Like, that's where you guys deserve a ton of credit because you see it a lot in sports where a new owner will buy a team and they'll be like, well, I was very successful in my line of work, usually business.

Speaker 19 I'm just going to do that here.

Speaker 50 And then it all blows up.

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 17 But you can focus on the things that you know how to do really well. So working with...
Ryan, who's a master marketer, we knew that we could tell the story well.

Speaker 17 So I focused on making the documentary, documentary, which is a huge part of it. Ryan is a massive star all over the world.

Speaker 17 I mean, he just basically poured gasoline on the entire, rocket fuel, I should say, on the entire thing. And everybody kind of does what they can do

Speaker 50 best.

Speaker 17 And that's the way we kind of look at all of our businesses, but very specifically,

Speaker 17 very specifically sports, where you see...

Speaker 17 I will say though, however, look at the commanders this year, right? Like a new owner, new ownership comes in, and he was able, or that group was able, they were able to change the culture. Yeah.

Speaker 17 And they made a couple of key moves and then put everything in place, let everybody do their job, and look what happened.

Speaker 38 Yeah. It was awesome.
It was great. I'm a Commanders fan, so everything that's happened in the last two years has felt like I died and went to heaven.
Yeah.

Speaker 38 Because Dan Snyder was the epitome of the example of the bad owner. The guy that would like meddle with everything.
Me and Big Cat, we actually own a Mexican football team, the Monterey Osos.

Speaker 38 And a lacrosse team. We're so hands-off, we didn't know that we bought it.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 29 Yeah. We found it.

Speaker 52 Do we have had a press release.

Speaker 77 We were like, whoops, okay.

Speaker 71 Oops. Yeah.

Speaker 17 How are they doing?

Speaker 9 Actually, they're in the Super Bowl this week.

Speaker 107 Yeah, in the Super Bowl. We got to talk about that.

Speaker 25 We actually have to sign the shares.

Speaker 114 Yeah.

Speaker 41 Yeah, we got to. I knew that.

Speaker 17 And how much cash can we say? Can we tell the audience how much?

Speaker 63 I don't even know.

Speaker 43 We have to decide that.

Speaker 34 As much as we want.

Speaker 19 I actually, I invested in Swansea like probably three or four years before you guys bought Wrexham, and that didn't go well.

Speaker 17 Yeah.

Speaker 97 Yeah. And I just got blamed on like message boards because

Speaker 40 I invested like $20,000. It was nothing.

Speaker 19 And they would just, every time they would lose, they'd be like, yeah, you got all the baddies.

Speaker 67 Like Liverpool has LeBron and we got a fat blogger.

Speaker 29 And it's like, whoops.

Speaker 17 Yeah, I mean, that I've seen a lot of people go into investment groups because the ownership is really fun. Yeah, it is.
But at the end of the day, you know, the values of some of those clubs

Speaker 17 in soccer, but like in the NFL, for example, you can't buy a meaningful stake in one of those clubs for less than six, seven billion dollars.

Speaker 30 Yeah.

Speaker 17 The commanders sold for.

Speaker 17 And so it's hard.

Speaker 17 who has that who has that money i don't know uh but that's what's so great about the english system is that you can buy a team that's in the fifth division yeah you keep investing in them and they keep performing then you're one year away from the premier league was it was it more time than you thought it would be in terms of investing how much energy how much time you're gonna have to put into owning this team uh it it's it's happened so fast um to get to this point.

Speaker 17 The questions that we've been having are like, is it responsible how quickly we're moving?

Speaker 17 You know, you scale a business that that fast, if you don't have the right personnel in place, if you don't have the right infrastructure, you know, it's boring, but it's not sexy to talk about.

Speaker 17 It's like drafting a left tackle. It's like probably one of the most offensive linemen, I mean, one of the most important decisions that you can make as a club.

Speaker 17 And yet the fans want a quarterback, they want a receiver, they want, but at the end of the day, that left tackle might be the most important, the centerpiece of the entire organization at some point.

Speaker 17 So making those sort of like unsexy decisions has been tough because

Speaker 17 my job as the documentarian is to tell a fun story. And no one wants to watch a story about infrastructure building.
Right. It's just fucking boring.
But the people that you hire,

Speaker 38 when you get started, they might be the perfect people for that role, but then you move up twice.

Speaker 38 And now that's not the, like, if you were to start from that position, you wouldn't hire that guy to be in that role.

Speaker 17 I'll go one further.

Speaker 17 This is where it becomes really heartbreaking. The players oftentimes will play themselves out of a job.

Speaker 17 So in great success in league two or league one, and this happened with a few of our players, they gave their hearts and their souls and their effort and helped us get promoted.

Speaker 17 And for that, the club, us, the town are eternally grateful. But what winds up happening is you go up a league and maybe they're 36, 37 years old.

Speaker 17 sometimes even 34, 35, and you need somebody who's 21 or 22. And if you theoretically stayed down in that league, they might still have

Speaker 17 to. To ask young men to do that is, it's a part of the gig and they accept that, but it still doesn't, it doesn't make it easy.

Speaker 49 It's not fun.

Speaker 17 It's not fun. And I found out, one of my favorite players was released from the team this year.
And I found out via Twitter.

Speaker 33 Wow.

Speaker 17 And I was just as shocked as he was. And it was his statement.
And the manager hadn't told us yet. He talked to the player, which is what he should have done.

Speaker 17 The player talked to his teammates and then put out a statement, which is his right to do. And my heart was broken.

Speaker 17 And I did not see it coming. Yeah.

Speaker 42 Yeah. By the way, I should note, some people do like to watch infrastructure being built.

Speaker 12 Zach, who took your gum earlier, he watches guys do concrete pours, like five-hour videos of it.

Speaker 71 So if you ever want to do that, if you build a new site, find that relaxing.

Speaker 35 Yeah, he likes it. Very much, he sir.

Speaker 12 Very relaxing, yes, sir, is what he said.

Speaker 23 To it, do you.

Speaker 107 Get up here, Zach.

Speaker 17 Yeah, Zach. Yeah, yeah.
And it's actually like pouring in like concrete into molds, or is it like mixing quick crete?

Speaker 17 What are you talking about here?

Speaker 81 We got a crew in Wisconsin, a Victory Outdoor Services.

Speaker 81 They don't mix concrete, comes in on trucks, they pour it. So they set the forms, like pour driveways, parking lots, things like that.

Speaker 17 Okay. And then you're watching five hours of that?

Speaker 81 Each video is usually like an hour or two.

Speaker 17 Yeah. Are we building like what kind of structures are we building? Caissons? Is it like foundational work? What are we?

Speaker 102 A lot of driveways.

Speaker 81 Yeah, a lot of neighborhood driveways or sidewalks as well, back patios.

Speaker 60 I can see that.

Speaker 38 Yeah, I can see how that would be. Do you watch it?

Speaker 52 So there's an audience there for it.

Speaker 38 Do you watch it dry too?

Speaker 81 No, no, no, no. They'll come back and spray with the sealer the next day.
So you'll get an update on the poor.

Speaker 53 Okay.

Speaker 17 But he said no as if that was the crazy.

Speaker 90 I'm like, you're an idiot.

Speaker 29 Yeah, like, God, no.

Speaker 105 I would watch it.

Speaker 17 You just, you got to watch it poor. Yeah.
So just. So we are building a stadium.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 11 So he'll watch, yeah, if you want to just set up a GoPro and a, he'll watch that.

Speaker 17 That's actually that would be a fun storyline. Here's a guy, here's a stadium being being built.
Here's a guy watching it being built. Only because he likes to watch the concrete.

Speaker 38 Yeah, when you were talking to Jeffrey Lurie, did he say you have to get a Big Dom?

Speaker 17 Oh, Big Dom is one of my favorite people

Speaker 79 on earth.

Speaker 17 And

Speaker 17 I went to the, this is actually not this season, but last season, we went to the Eagles

Speaker 17 Rams game. And we, at the end of the game, Dom, we're in one of the boxes on the field.
Dom comes over and he didn't even know it was my son because it was was just a bunch of kids.

Speaker 17 He brought over one of the game balls and gave it to the kids and my son took it home. It's like his prize possession.

Speaker 38 Yeah, they did that exact same thing to Max.

Speaker 30 Yeah, it's Max and he's 30.

Speaker 17 They're just picking out the person that really needs a lift.

Speaker 46 Listen, we were when Big Dom, when the whole thing happened with the Niners, we were like actually very upset.

Speaker 85 because Max was like, oh yeah, that's Big Dom.

Speaker 11 We're like, you've been keeping Big Dom from us? Like, why didn't you tell us about Big Dom?

Speaker 17 He's the best.

Speaker 71 He's heart and soul of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Speaker 17 It's really fascinating to see the dynamics. I just went back to play in the charity event that they do, that the Eagles do.
And one of the great

Speaker 17 perks of doing what I do for a living is getting to do those kinds of things and be invited to Marion Golf Course to play with the Eagles. So just to see the dynamics and how it all works, like,

Speaker 17 because I'm just used to watching them on Sunday, right? And to see

Speaker 92 how

Speaker 30 how

Speaker 17 Jeffrey and then, of course, Howie Roseman, the greatest GM in all of sports, navigate their relationship with the players because it's tricky.

Speaker 17 Like you, you want to be as close to them as you possibly can, but you could see, you know, when Howie walks into a room, like everybody kind of like sits up a little bit. Yeah.
And

Speaker 17 in fact.

Speaker 17 While

Speaker 17 I was getting food at the buffet and Jalen says, hey, do you want to sit over there? I want to ask you a couple of things. I said, sure.

Speaker 17 So I go over and I'm just sitting there in a big table eating with Jalen Hurts and Jalen's asking me a bunch of questions about business and no one's sitting with us.

Speaker 17 And I'm wondering why no one's sitting with us, but I'm figuring out, it's cool. Talking to Jalen Hurts is great.
So we talked for like 45 minutes and then dinner was over.

Speaker 17 And later that night, I got a text from Jake Elliott, who I'm very good friends with. He's the kicker for the Eagles.
And

Speaker 17 he said, I didn't see you. I was like, where were you? I didn't see you.
He goes, well, I saw you talking with Jalen and just figured

Speaker 17 I should stay out of that conversation. I'm like, what?

Speaker 16 That's a good kicker. Why?

Speaker 37 That's a good kicker.

Speaker 17 I feel like he was like, look, QB-1

Speaker 17 has decided he's sitting with you and talking. And like, Jake finds his own space.
Yes. He sits there.
I'm like, wow, that's real.

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 64 That's a real, yeah, that's absolutely real.

Speaker 17 And it wasn't out of deference or fear. It was just out of respect for what QB-1's doing.
Yeah. Jake's got his thing that he's going to go do.
And they're all friends. Yeah.

Speaker 38 It's like watching a nature show, like the hierarchy in real life. And it's so natural to a good team you

Speaker 17 know your boundaries and you're and you're on the same team right you're literally there for um for a charity event but you're there with the owner and the gm and the head coach and all the players who are you know they're coming back from minicamp but you see how it all i don't know it's of course it's one big happy family but it's still a profession and they treat it so yeah yeah uh always sunny 17 seasons you're on your 17th season right now yeah uh

Speaker 69 i mean that's that's that's not done in show business.

Speaker 63 Is there a moment where you're like, how are we just going to keep going?

Speaker 9 Are we going to break all the records?

Speaker 47 Because it's incredible.

Speaker 83 It's a credit to you guys to be able to do something, keep it that funny for that long that people keep loving it.

Speaker 51 Thank you.

Speaker 17 I think that this season that's coming out today or tomorrow is the funniest season. Maybe the funniest season we've ever done.
That's a pretty funny. Definitely the funniest of the last decade.
And

Speaker 17 Charlie and I both agreed. We were sitting in the editing room watching episode, I don't know, six or seven.
And we were like, wow,

Speaker 17 this is probably the funniest season that we've ever done. And I think it's just because we, I value people's time beyond anything else.

Speaker 17 Like it's the one commodity that we can't buy more of or get more of. People live tough lives.

Speaker 17 I know that sunny, for some people, is just something that they can sit at home and makes them laugh when they've come home from a tough day or they're, you know, got something brutal going on in their lives and they could just watch a bunch of terrible people be terrible people and it makes them laugh.

Speaker 17 So I take that very seriously. And for as silly and ridiculous as the show is, the work that we put into it comes out of respect for people's time.
Yeah.

Speaker 17 And I feel like if people are going to show up for us week after week, year after year, like generation after generation, then at the very least, I owe them the time.

Speaker 17 to put into it to make it to be the best that I can make it. Yeah.

Speaker 38 Can I ask you a question about the upcoming season? And you have to tell me and be truthful with your answer.

Speaker 38 Ryan Reynolds, is he in it? No.

Speaker 29 Was that truthful? Oh, he did.

Speaker 51 That's truthful. Is that truthful?

Speaker 38 Because there was a whole like, is he going to be your boyfriend thing that you guys

Speaker 17 want a little bit? No. No, he's not.
He's not.

Speaker 17 He cut me out of Deadpool.

Speaker 17 I'll keep him in the documentary. Yeah.
Okay. That's that.
And, you know, the coxa one.

Speaker 17 Money's my fan.

Speaker 38 You can edit him out of whatever you want. Yeah.

Speaker 42 When you guys are sitting there, though, editing season 17, you're like, this is the best season.

Speaker 19 Do you take a moment and sit back and be like,

Speaker 11 the first, the pilot, you went to like a Best Buy and got a camcorder?

Speaker 26 Because that's before cell phones that had video, like 200 bucks.

Speaker 17 I got a Best Buy card that I couldn't, and I bought a camera I couldn't afford.

Speaker 17 And we actually bought two of them so we could cross shoot them, much like this.

Speaker 17 And

Speaker 17 what's wild is

Speaker 17 those cameras we shot on

Speaker 17 VHS. So there's still our original home movie is on vhs that's amazing

Speaker 17 and then you went out and pitched it and you actually had like a pretty good success of like people wanting it right yeah we uh we made the first one but we made the first one and it wasn't good enough so we did it again and then we we kept going made like three or four iterations of it until finally we were like okay maybe this is pretty good but i knew that if we were going to take it out

Speaker 17 I was a waiter at the time, so and working in a, and prior to that, I was a bar back in a bar. So I wanted to entrust, I wanted them to entrust me with running this television series.
I was 26.

Speaker 17 And so I thought we should make a second episode because that'll prove that it's not just one fluke. So we made a second episode.
That turned out pretty great from our perspective.

Speaker 17 We then took it out to the... to the town and almost everybody made us an offer because we could keep it cheap

Speaker 17 and it was it was something different.

Speaker 26 That's, I mean, that in itself is kind of unheard of, that like everyone made you an offer.

Speaker 46 And then your decision to go with FX, I love that story because you knew, you had the foresight to be like, they're going to give us the space creatively to go to places that maybe not everyone else does.

Speaker 12 Whereas a lot of people would just, in your position, 26, waiting, giving me the most money.

Speaker 17 Yeah, we, there was a,

Speaker 17 there was an inflection point where we had offers. And when we got the offers, and this is also a benefit of having multiple offers, we went back with, we have one demand.

Speaker 17 And that demand was that I would be the showrunner, that Glenn and Charlie would be the executive producers. We would direct the episodes, write the episodes.

Speaker 17 Because we didn't want to bring in, it happens all the time where they say, oh, okay, these kids made something. Now let's bring in an adult or a professional.

Speaker 17 And everybody said, oh, sorry, pass, except FX, John Landgraff, who runs that place and still does, said,

Speaker 30 okay.

Speaker 12 But do you guys having that ability to be like, hey, this is what we have to do?

Speaker 41 I think that's just very rare.

Speaker 19 I think a lot of people, especially hungry, trying to get into the business there, they'll just take whatever offers given to them and then find out the hard way that things change when you start getting up to the big leagues.

Speaker 17 Yeah, you know,

Speaker 17 we just had a belief in ourselves that we could execute and that we, you know, to be honest with you,

Speaker 17 we didn't want to bring in Danny. In six years,

Speaker 17 no, no. Our knee-jerk reaction was

Speaker 17 not that we had anything against Danny. Danny's an icon and hilarious and it but he was a movie star.

Speaker 17 And we thought, well, if we bring in a movie star, they could screw up the dynamic and we feel like we've got a pretty good thing going. So then

Speaker 17 Landgraff said, okay, well, you have a choice. You can either bring in a star or you cannot do the show.
And we were like, let's do option A.

Speaker 50 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 17 And then it just so happened, it's like we hit the lottery again because Danny

Speaker 17 was incredible and like slipped right into what we were trying to do. He is, when people are like, What's Danny really like? I say, Okay, picture Danny DeVito in your head.

Speaker 94 That's what he's like. That's it.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 17 Yeah. And you know how some people they ain't who they putting out in the world.

Speaker 35 He is.

Speaker 72 Wait, so was how quickly were you like, this works with Danny?

Speaker 32 Knowing that you were, it was a little bit forced on you.

Speaker 19 Yeah.

Speaker 63 But was there a moment, like even the first time or the second episode, where you're like, oh, this is going to be awesome?

Speaker 17 It actually happened when

Speaker 17 he, as part of his contract, he said, okay, I'll do it, but you only get me for

Speaker 17 two weeks to shoot an entire season of the show.

Speaker 17 You know, we shoot really fast, but only having two weeks is not a lot, which means we had to front load all of his stuff in the beginning.

Speaker 17 So, and he was taking a risk on us, and we said, okay, fine, great.

Speaker 17 So we got about halfway through the first week, about Wednesday, and he could see that we were like really jamming, but he was having so much fun.

Speaker 17 And he pulled me aside and he goes, I'll give you as much time as you need. Oh, that's awesome.
So we then kept him for another, we want to still be respectful.

Speaker 17 I think we only took another week or something like that or two weeks. And

Speaker 17 there was that moment. And then

Speaker 17 subsequent to that, there was a time in which, you know, maybe

Speaker 17 episode three or four,

Speaker 17 he walks in and there was a bunch of space that we didn't realize was there. And I said, okay, when you come in, you'll just have some space before you get to the next line.

Speaker 17 So just say whatever you want. And he said, well, what should I say?

Speaker 17 And I said you're danny devito man you're i want you to say whatever you want to say and he said here come here for a second i said what he pulls me aside and he's like i'm here because i'm old and you're young and you know what's funny and what i think is funny is what my generation thought was funny but i want to speak to your generation so you tell me what to say and i'm going to say it to the best of my ability And so I did.

Speaker 17 I wrote something. He said it.
He walked in. And that was that.
But not only did that help

Speaker 17 with the chemistry of our show, it taught me a very important lesson that I take with me to this day, which is to always, always be listening to the next generation or the next generation after that because they're the ones that are dictating what the culture is.

Speaker 13 That's why we listen to Zach.

Speaker 77 That's what we're going to ask.

Speaker 77 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 29 That's next.

Speaker 17 We're transitioning to pouring concrete.

Speaker 52 That's our podcast now.

Speaker 38 We had Danny on the show, I think it was like four or five years ago, maybe.

Speaker 17 He told a great story about you guys and the April Fool's joke that you played where you had entire like everybody on the show fucked him in the ass yes yeah and then he got to the last page and it said April Fools and yeah now was he was he into the script uh like after three four pages did he like tolerate as he tells the story I mean we we wrote we it was actually um us and the Chernin brothers who uh have worked with us and for us for years and they also created my wife's other show called The Mick and they're just like crazy funny guys and we had an idea but you know you don't have a lot of time in the writer's room but April Foles was coming up, and Danny had done a few pranks, pulled a few pranks on us.

Speaker 17 And we thought, how can we out, how can we outdo him? And we pitched it to the guys, and the guys sent us back a draft. Charlie and I then took a pass and went really hardcore.

Speaker 17 But we were like, for it to work, he's got to believe that it's a real script. So, like, let's make our storyline as real and as funny as we possibly can be.
So, he believes that this is true.

Speaker 17 And then let's have him sent to prison in the opening scene. And then, every scene after that is him being

Speaker 17 abused

Speaker 17 by

Speaker 17 different groups in the prison. And each one put their own little spin on

Speaker 17 how they express themselves in prison.

Speaker 17 And Danny's

Speaker 17 body.

Speaker 17 Or Frank's body, I should say.

Speaker 17 And he said he started like sweating because he thought the rest of the script was funny.

Speaker 17 And he was like, well, I don't know what the punchline is going to be But man, I don't I don't know if I can do this because he's done everything we've ever seen to do right and finally Yeah, the last the last line was fuck you That's incredible You should film that episode for the last season

Speaker 38 that should be in the last season whenever that happens to be

Speaker 17 It was brutal.

Speaker 54 It was graphic and you guys are so good

Speaker 42 The the the fact that you've done 17 seasons through a lot of culture changes in America and like how you know comedy and there's all these discussions about it But I think what you guys do better than anyone else is and you said it to start here like all the characters are terrible people.

Speaker 12 And that's what makes it work.

Speaker 69 You can make fun of anything when the joke is kind of back at you.

Speaker 39 Yeah.

Speaker 12 Was that a conscious effort?

Speaker 19 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 87 Always.

Speaker 69 It allows us to do these things because at the end of the day, we're not saying these are like good people.

Speaker 72 They're bad people. You shouldn't be rooting for them.

Speaker 17 That's right. Yeah.
And we never pander to the audience.

Speaker 17 I always assume the best of people and that they'll understand the joke and satire.

Speaker 17 And that if you're going to make a show about the worst people on the planet, then they're going to act accordingly. And that gives you a tremendous amount of leeway in so many different areas.
And

Speaker 17 the thing that I find fun is depends on where I am in the country. Because

Speaker 17 sometimes someone will come up to me and say, like, oh man, like, I love how you come at the conservatives and it's like such a progressive show. And I'm like, really? Is that what you think it is?

Speaker 17 Yeah. And then I'll go into like a conservative part of the country and people will be like, man, how do you even live in LA when you're like killing the lefties on your show? And I'm like, really?

Speaker 17 Is that what you think it is? Because

Speaker 17 that is what we're doing.

Speaker 17 We're basically looking at the entirety, the complexity of Western culture, American culture, and we're satirizing all of it.

Speaker 17 And so I believe that

Speaker 17 the audience, again, I never pander. I assume that they understand what we're going for.
And ultimately, number one, we're out to entertain. Number two, we want to make people laugh.

Speaker 17 And number three, we want to get them to maybe look at hypocrisy from, you know, look at however way they look at the world through this very skewed prism.

Speaker 17 And we have never once taken our foot off the accelerator.

Speaker 38 Did you think about putting a laugh track in ever?

Speaker 17 No, I mean,

Speaker 17 we messed around with it when we were, we did like a couple of episodes where we put it in just for fun.

Speaker 17 But it wouldn't work, I don't think, on a on a show like that because it's so confusing where the laughter is.

Speaker 17 Like sometimes, you know, people, you watch it with an audience, and it's really fun because

Speaker 17 people will laugh at different things. And sometimes you do something, you assume the audience is going to love it, and they don't give a shit.

Speaker 17 And sometimes you just put something in and you just kind of forget about it, and then it's become something iconic for them.

Speaker 38 Yeah, it's also sometimes patronizing to the audience when you watch a show and there's all this laughter and you're like, none of this was funny. Yeah.
Who's laughing at that? Why is that a joke?

Speaker 17 Yeah, it's the same thing to me.

Speaker 17 I don't know. Look, everybody is entitled to their opinion socially, politically, whatever.

Speaker 17 I feel like we have a tendency in our industry

Speaker 92 to

Speaker 17 need to express ourselves, and again, it's everybody's right, but express ourselves outside of our medium.

Speaker 17 And I kind of feel like a lot of the rejection from the public is people not saying stay in your lane, they're saying, hey, you have a platform already with which you can express yourself in every way, in every way you want.

Speaker 17 And we're willing to check in with you for 22 minutes or an hour or an hour and a half or three hours or whatever. So if you've got something to say, say it through that.

Speaker 17 I don't necessarily need to see somebody who has that platform already then taking to another platform to express themselves. To me, that seems, again,

Speaker 17 everybody has their right to do it, but I would rather do it through the work.

Speaker 99 Yeah. All right.

Speaker 19 We're at the portion of the interview where I'm going to ask you a question about things that you probably have answered a million times, sick of talking about, but guess what?

Speaker 65 You're here.

Speaker 66 The gaining the 60 pounds, that was incredible uh although i was a little offended because like we do that every football season like just naturally uh how hard was it and also it's genius because i think you even said like a lot of times the actors will get hotter i wanted to get grosser uh but how hard was it to actually gain and what was the time frame for you to gain 60 pounds the the time frame was three months two and a half months yeah was it a lot of fun yeah sort of it was fun in the beginning um

Speaker 17 and then

Speaker 17 it got less and less fun because we were getting closer and closer to production. And we had written all these scripts that were addressing how large my character got.
And I wasn't putting it on.

Speaker 17 You weren't big enough.

Speaker 17 I wasn't big enough. And like, it was almost an intervention.
I remember the moment very distinctly where Charlie and Glenn were like, can we talk to you? And we have these like...

Speaker 17 tense conversations all the time because we've got very close relationship and we close the door in the office and they're like

Speaker 17 man

Speaker 17 you're not fat enough

Speaker 17 And, you know, we're going to shoot the fucking show in, you know, in like three weeks, so you better double down.

Speaker 17 So that part was like, I was setting alarms in the middle of the night to wake up and eat.

Speaker 17 And just a tip for anybody out there, cottage cheese is like the worst thing you can eat right before you go to bed because it metabolizes so slowly in your stomach. So I was just like hammering

Speaker 17 cottage cheese and pineapples and like blueberries and anything with sugar in it.

Speaker 17 And then I was taking ice cream and weight gainer. And I was just melting the ice cream and then putting weight gainer in.

Speaker 17 And put on, yeah, eventually the first 30 was easy. The last,

Speaker 17 you know, then the next 20 was brutal. And the final 10 was really, really tough.

Speaker 26 Did you just feel so gross?

Speaker 17 I kind of felt great.

Speaker 29 That's awesome.

Speaker 17 Like eating all that food felt like shit, but I was also powerlifting. So the problem was that I wasn't, I was gaining weight just in my gut and I didn't, it wasn't going anywhere else.

Speaker 17 So I went to a trainer and I was like, I want to look as disgusting as possible. And he's like, I've literally never heard that before.

Speaker 17 But

Speaker 17 I was like, I want to get a big fat ass. And I want, so I was doing like powerlifting.

Speaker 17 So I was. It was a weird thing because I was bench pressing and powerlifting.
At the same time, I was also doing all this weight gainer. So I was, I was in terrible shape because I wasn't allowed.

Speaker 17 I had to walk slowly up the steps. The trainer was like, I don't even want you skipping up the steps.
I want you to like never get your heart rate above whatever.

Speaker 17 So I was just doing like the heavy, heavy, heavy bench press and squatting. So I felt strong as shit.

Speaker 50 I don't know.

Speaker 52 You're like an Eastern European.

Speaker 17 I was crazy strong, crazy strong. And that, so that felt good.

Speaker 17 At any point, my ligament, I'm sure like my ligaments were ready to block. My liver took a hit

Speaker 17 and my kidneys were in rough shape. But other than that, like I felt pretty good.
Apparently, Caitlin says that I snored like heavily. So I had some sleeping issues.

Speaker 51 But other than that,

Speaker 17 I felt great. Yeah.
And look, the point of it was like, I was watching in one of the episodes and I decided to use a different take.

Speaker 17 And even though the take that I had seen was funnier and I caught myself and I was like, why do I want to use a different take?

Speaker 17 And I realized it was just like a moment of vanity. I felt like I didn't like the way I looked in that.
And I was like, put that shit in check.

Speaker 93 That is the point.

Speaker 17 The whole point of this show is to make the anti-sitcom. So the anti-sitcom is never to make a decision based on vanity.
That's when it sort of started for me.

Speaker 17 In the offseason, I thought, okay, that was a scary moment where I almost made a vain decision. How can I do the opposite? So I pitched to everybody.
What if we all put on 60 pounds?

Speaker 17 And everybody was like, fuck you. Danny said yes.

Speaker 90 I was like,

Speaker 95 nah,

Speaker 17 i don't want to be responsible for killing danny

Speaker 17 so i said okay i'll just i'll just do it oh i'll just do it i wanted to make the the i love by the way i love friends i think it's a great show i've seen every episode um i thought it was a really great show but it they had already done that show I wanted to do the opposite.

Speaker 17 I wanted to do the anti-Friends. And so you watched in Friends as they got better and better looking as the years went on.

Speaker 17 And because they had more money and they had better doctors and they had better diets. And I thought these people live in a bar and they

Speaker 17 treat themselves like shit, they would look like, they would look like garbage.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 17 So that's what I should say.

Speaker 54 I love it.

Speaker 26 I'm happy I asked because I didn't know all of that story.

Speaker 64 Like that's, that's incredible.

Speaker 38 What about when you got shredded? How do you, how do you stay funny if you're actually like strong and muscular?

Speaker 17 Well, that's, that is like the problem. Like you, the, the better shape you are in, the less funny you are just naturally.
Yeah. Unless

Speaker 17 you, you tell your friends in the show, I did this for you. And the friends are like, what the fuck are you talking about? Why?

Speaker 17 And he did it just to like impress them, but they're not impressed by it. So ultimately,

Speaker 17 getting ripped is just as sad. And that's what we really try to go for.
What is the saddest version of these people?

Speaker 17 And anybody who's like,

Speaker 17 even though it's as vain as possible, you then... tip over into the other side into into the extreme side of something and so um even it was like the the extreme vanity is what made it so pathetic.

Speaker 17 Yeah.

Speaker 38 Hey man, we have to have an intervention. You're not fat enough.

Speaker 31 You're not fat enough.

Speaker 3 Did you do any steroids?

Speaker 17 I did a bunch of creatine. Okay.
And then when I got into like really ripped shape, no, I was still, yeah,

Speaker 17 I did creatine, and then they had, it was like some kind of like fucking testosterone boosting, boosting supplements.

Speaker 42 I like the honesty there because I do think it's very funny whenever like an actor gets into crazy shape in like three months for a role.

Speaker 17 And it's like here's what they did it's like well what about the other stuff too well that's what i also i put out a post um at around the same time and i was like this is also like i don't know six six or seven years ago but um i pointed out how ridiculous like what it took to get into that kind of shape yeah and that i had a trainer and that i had a studio behind me that was paying for all of it and i had somebody preparing my meals and and so i wanted to make it like abundantly clear that this is a ridiculous thing to do It's a full-time job that I have a studio backing me for, and it's not a healthy way to live.

Speaker 17 Yeah.

Speaker 17 So, yeah, I mean,

Speaker 17 I since then stayed in pretty good shape just because it feels good.

Speaker 17 But going back to that is just ludicrous.

Speaker 35 Yeah.

Speaker 38 Another question you've probably been asked a lot about.

Speaker 38 Smoke away with Snoop Dogg. You got high with Snoop Dogg.

Speaker 38 Are you going to do it again?

Speaker 17 Would you ever do it again? No, fuck no. I was on Mars.
And

Speaker 17 I don't smoke a ton of weed,

Speaker 17 even though it's legal in California. I just, it doesn't have the same effect on me that it seems to have on people.
It just like heightens my anxiety.

Speaker 17 But if Snoop asked you to smoke a joint with him, you have to.

Speaker 51 You have to. Yeah.

Speaker 30 Yeah, you can't turn that down.

Speaker 17 So honestly, if he asked me again, I'd probably still say yes. But

Speaker 17 yeah, it was fun

Speaker 17 because I got to hang out with him. But the whole time I was having a conversation with myself, like, buddy, keep it together.
You're still on Earth.

Speaker 17 You're sitting in a car in a giant van with Snoop watching the Lakers. He likes the Lakers.
Just pretend to like the Lakers and go for the ride.

Speaker 38 Were you self-conscious about how you're hitting the joint? You're like, is this the right way to take the blunt?

Speaker 17 Am I going to be able to do that? I don't think he was paying attention to me

Speaker 17 how I was smoking it at all. I think he wanted to see if I could hang.
So I was like, okay.

Speaker 30 I'll take that challenge. Yeah,

Speaker 28 he probably gets high off challenging other people like that.

Speaker 68 Like, hey, take a hit of the.

Speaker 122 He definitely was keeping an eye on me just to make sure that i didn't like i don't know flip out start taking off my clothes or some shit yeah but um but yeah he i i i i finished it yeah yeah um well this has been awesome rob we really appreciate it i had one last question whether i'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate boars head is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself their platters are a hit every time they've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more and if you want to take it up a notch, grab a few dips.

Speaker 19 are you nervous at all if the city of Philadelphia wins too many titles?

Speaker 18 Does it change?

Speaker 69 Because, like, the Eagles now have won two Super Bowls in the last, whatever it is, six or seven years.

Speaker 41 You know, the Phillies have been good.

Speaker 11 Sixers, who knows?

Speaker 68 But, like, is there any part of you that, like, and would that play out in how you write the show as well?

Speaker 17 Well, that's a huge part of

Speaker 17 why

Speaker 17 the entire experience of being a sports fan works is and why

Speaker 17 this is what Welcome to Rexim is about.

Speaker 17 It's about fandom. And really what it's about is about community and a community forged in tragedy.
Because there can be only one at the end of each year in every and any sport.

Speaker 17 And so there's something really beautifully human about that, that we are not forged in triumph. We're forged in tragedy the vast majority of the time.
Your team loses, but you're doing it together.

Speaker 17 And it helps,

Speaker 17 I think, the reason,

Speaker 17 one of the major reasons why people hold so desperately on to their fandom is because they want,

Speaker 17 it's a way, especially for men, to communicate to each other, that they love each other and that they want to spend time with each other. and that

Speaker 17 they can bond with each other and they have something to talk about.

Speaker 17 But ultimately, at the end of the day, it's a bunch of 25-year-olds that you don't know moving a piece of plastic back and forth or putting it into a net or putting it whatever.

Speaker 17 And we're putting all of this value onto it. And I'm myself included.
I'm a massive sports fan. But at the end of the day, that is not what's relevant.

Speaker 17 What's relevant is who you're sharing that experience with.

Speaker 17 And one of the things that I love watching is, you know,

Speaker 17 something good happens on the field or on the pitch, I love watching what people do. I love watching fans and we have cameras everywhere, like shooting everything.

Speaker 17 And the first thing that people do is they rise, they put their hands in the air, and then they turn to the left, and then they turn to the right, and then they look down, and they look behind them, and they either high-five or they hug each other.

Speaker 17 And that shows you what it's really about, which is you get to, you know, you get 85 years on this planet if you're lucky, and you get, and the only thing we have is time spent with each other.

Speaker 17 So sports becomes that. So that's the circuitous way of answering your question.

Speaker 17 I think

Speaker 17 that my biggest fear coming into this year is

Speaker 17 going to the Super Bowl, having it be the Eagles playing the Buffalo Bills.

Speaker 95 Oh

Speaker 17 it would it would be devastating. Yeah.
Because first of all, the entire nation would be rooting for the Bills. Yep.
And Philadelphia as an underdog city, that's a huge part of our identity.

Speaker 30 And you get cocked.

Speaker 17 It's really tough.

Speaker 17 I actually played golf with Josh Allen last week and he's the nicest guy. Yeah, he's our friend.
Yeah, he's such a good guy. He's an incredible player.

Speaker 17 That organization deserves to win. That town deserves to win.
And, you know, those are the kind of identity checking moments that are really, really tricky.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 90 But

Speaker 17 you still want to win. Yeah, of course.
You still want to win every year. So I don't know.

Speaker 17 I don't, I, I, I hope we win the next five Super Bowls, but I also, it seemed to me like all my friends, all my Patriot friends, like they seem to enjoy it. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 17 The constant. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 51 So I don't know.

Speaker 111 I don't know. It's a good answer, though.

Speaker 69 That's a good answer.

Speaker 13 But the Bills thing, that is, it would be,

Speaker 25 you guys wouldn't have any leg to stand on as like, you know, like underdog Philly.

Speaker 17 My dream scenario would be that we play the Chiefs again because then I would

Speaker 50 root for you Eagles again.

Speaker 17 Yeah. I think so.
But, you know, if,

Speaker 17 oh, man, I would get killed if I even said about what I was about to say. So I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say it.

Speaker 17 Yeah. I had to stop myself.

Speaker 72 Max, our producer right here, if you had said what you were about to say,

Speaker 106 he would have called you a pussy when he got out of the way.

Speaker 43 So it's good to you.

Speaker 103 Yeah, I would love to see.

Speaker 17 It's so difficult because I would love to win every Super Bowl. But, man,

Speaker 17 it would be great to see the city of Detroit win a Super Bowl. It would be great to see Cleveland, Cleveland, Buffalo, because it feels fucking good, man.

Speaker 81 Yeah.

Speaker 33 Yeah.

Speaker 66 Well, thanks, man.

Speaker 19 This has been awesome. Thank you.

Speaker 109 Loved having you on.

Speaker 26 Best of luck this weekend.

Speaker 19 And anytime you want to come back on, we'd love to have you.

Speaker 17 Hell yeah. Well, look, I'm a fan of you guys.
And it's just like,

Speaker 17 you know, that story I told about Danny, you,

Speaker 17 I grew up listening to sports talk radio in Philadelphia. And that's also something that unites us all.
But, you know, you guys are the next generation of young people like talking about sports.

Speaker 17 So I don't know that we can ever do 40, but yeah.

Speaker 30 I know, but that's still eight years.

Speaker 17 That's still eight years younger than me.

Speaker 38 Yeah, WIP, I think that's its own.

Speaker 35 It will exist forever.

Speaker 29 Forever, yeah.

Speaker 74 Forever. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 17 I appreciate you having me on.

Speaker 35 Yeah, thanks, Rob.

Speaker 17 And now for something completely different.

Speaker 109 Okay,

Speaker 109 we now have our good friend Marty Fish on the show.

Speaker 25 We thought last year we were talking.

Speaker 68 Marty is an AWL.

Speaker 11 He's also a two-time winner.

Speaker 115 Hank actually said you were a seven-time winner.

Speaker 66 I don't know if he told a lot.

Speaker 78 Yeah, I know.

Speaker 53 I asked you.

Speaker 112 I was like, dude, yeah, he did.

Speaker 107 He said that.

Speaker 63 Seven-time winner. But we were like, Marty's the coolest dude ever.

Speaker 26 He listens to the show. Let's have him on.

Speaker 85 He's going to go win this tournament this weekend.

Speaker 25 So when you're watching on Sunday, you're going to see Marty Fish and be like, oh, that guy also listens to Pardon Make.

Speaker 19 Andy's the man.

Speaker 39 So, Marty, thank you for coming by.

Speaker 25 Are you going to win this tournament?

Speaker 76 I get that question a lot. Thank you for having me.
I am a big fan of the show, AWL.

Speaker 76 I was excited to meet Zach. Yeah.

Speaker 108 Well, everyone is. Zach's a star.

Speaker 76 Yeah.

Speaker 76 I can't tell if he's serious or not, but he's dead serious. Yeah, and I love it.

Speaker 76 So nice.

Speaker 76 Yeah, dude. Thank you for having me on big fan.

Speaker 76 Played.

Speaker 76 Okay, am I going to win?

Speaker 76 Golf is different. Golf doesn't work like that.
Like golf is like a lot of

Speaker 76 extra stuff.

Speaker 76 Golf is a lot of

Speaker 76 bounces, a lot of luck, a lot of this, a lot of that. Like tennis is like, if you're better than somebody, you're going to beat them most likely.

Speaker 76 I feel like I'm the best player here, but it doesn't mean, it doesn't mean a lot. But I'd like to win.

Speaker 28 Yeah, I did a bad job of introducing you.

Speaker 25 You were a tennis pro.

Speaker 109 Ninth in the world at one point?

Speaker 76 Yeah, seven. I got to seven.

Speaker 38 Seven?

Speaker 19 Seventh in the world at one point.

Speaker 27 Won some tournaments.

Speaker 42 Went to some,

Speaker 32 you went to the gold medal game, right?

Speaker 80 I did.

Speaker 76 Yeah, I lost the...

Speaker 76 You either win the gold, win the bronze, you either win the gold, lose the gold, or win the bronze. Okay, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 76 yeah that's especially in like not like a race like if you're in a race you finish second you're all you're elated but i lost and they gave me the you know silver so it's like silver's worse i think silver's worse than bronze yeah absolutely 100 yeah you can because you the last thing that you remember when you win the bronze is obviously winning yeah it gets another good you gotta win to get the bronze and you're elated right like you got a medal right and i was devastated that i lost the gold and i was just standing there and they're playing the chilean anthem and i'm like this is a beautiful song but like this is is the last thing I want to hear.

Speaker 39 I lost to a guy that we don't even know.

Speaker 76 I lost to a Chilean guy that you've never heard of. And then, and then, I mean, he's a good player, but yeah.
And then, and then the guy that finished third was Chilean as well.

Speaker 76 So, those two, then, when they do the, because I was up two sets to one. I mean, this is, I was up two sets to one in the final and a break in the fourth set.

Speaker 81 So, you don't know tennis versus no, I do.

Speaker 124 I'm falling a little bit.

Speaker 48 I got it.

Speaker 76 But, but I was up big,

Speaker 76 and

Speaker 76 I lost, I ended up losing. And then they're joining each other

Speaker 128 in the middle

Speaker 76 on the podium,

Speaker 76 belting out the Chillan ants.

Speaker 38 It kind of looks like Texas, but it's not.

Speaker 75 It does. Wait, so what were you up in the fourth set?

Speaker 76 I was up 3-1 serving in the fourth. Two sets to one, three, one serving.

Speaker 95 You blew it up.

Speaker 76 I actually sat down in changeover at one point, like at like up a break in the fourth, like legitimately going, like, holy shit, I think I'm going to win the gold medal. Oh, like that.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 128 And it, like, it kind of flipped after that.

Speaker 128 Don't do that.

Speaker 12 But, I mean, you're pretty sick at sports.

Speaker 107 So, I, I don't know.

Speaker 82 Everyone here in this entire Lake Tahoe, you're like the mayor.

Speaker 63 Everyone's like, I want to, you know, everyone. Yeah.

Speaker 11 You've won the tournament twice.

Speaker 83 You beat, like, think about it.

Speaker 24 I know, obviously, a gold medal, Olympics would be sick, but you come out to this tournament and you beat like the biggest names in sports.

Speaker 71 That's got to feel awesome.

Speaker 76 Golf. But yeah, no, I mean, look, I played, this is my 12th year, and I'm a huge sports fan.
So, like, all these guys, like, I've wanted to meet anyways.

Speaker 76 George Kittle last night was at the player meeting, and he just sat next to me. And I was like, hey, George, how are you doing? I'm Marty.
And, like, then they did something with my name.

Speaker 76 I just assumed he didn't know who I was. So then they did something with my, with the previous champion or whatever.
And I had the trophy. He's like, oh, that's you.

Speaker 76 You know, that I was like, yes, George knows me. Yes.

Speaker 76 So, yeah, I try and like meet everybody. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 118 It's cool.

Speaker 38 Why do tennis players grunt so much?

Speaker 76 I mean, you got to let out

Speaker 76 the energy and emotion and energy. I don't know.
Like, some people don't. Like, Roger Fedder didn't, didn't grunt at all until like late, late, late in a huge match.

Speaker 76 It was the only time he ever grunted. But then, like,

Speaker 76 there's WTA tour. Like, there's a ton of grunting.
And they must, like, I think they practice it.

Speaker 71 WTA's the women's tour. Yeah.

Speaker 104 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 38 It was Monica Salis, like, what?

Speaker 43 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 76 Monica Sellis was, you know, one of the worst. Sharipova was loud when she got indoors as well.

Speaker 3 Would it bother you? Would it fuck you up if someone was grunting like crazy?

Speaker 76 I mean, a lot of, like, do you get like some South American guys who would grunt and they would, they would hit it and they'd go, they'd hit it and then they'd go, eh.

Speaker 60 So it hit their racket.

Speaker 43 It's like, okay, now it's hitting their racket right now.

Speaker 113 Like that.

Speaker 76 It's like, come on.

Speaker 129 You could say something.

Speaker 76 You usually end up saying something to them. Yeah.

Speaker 71 If you're losing. Yeah.

Speaker 38 Obviously, a world-class tennis player, You're very close to being a world-class golfer, right?

Speaker 30 Yeah.

Speaker 38 Like, how far away are you from being a pro?

Speaker 76 I mean, technically, I am because I accept the prize money here.

Speaker 38 Yeah, smart.

Speaker 71 Oh, that is what is the prize money.

Speaker 76 So is Charles Barkley.

Speaker 121 Oh, okay.

Speaker 98 What is the prize money?

Speaker 76 You win $150,000 if you win the tournament.

Speaker 60 Okay.

Speaker 76 Real money. Yeah.

Speaker 71 That's real money.

Speaker 78 Kids go to a really expensive school.

Speaker 98 That's real money.

Speaker 78 They need to win. Yeah.

Speaker 43 Like a tour guy.

Speaker 38 Like, how close are you to the

Speaker 38 median?

Speaker 76 I would get maybe a shot and a half a side, probably. So, like, three shots around.

Speaker 76 Okay. Something like that.
Yeah, yeah. I think would be like a fair.
You know, if I got two a side, I'd feel really, I'd feel pretty comfortable.

Speaker 76 Not against like Scotty Scheffler by any means, but like if somebody could shoot mid-60s, then I would have to shoot like high 60s or low 70s.

Speaker 23 What's your best round?

Speaker 76 63. A bunch of 63s.
Damn.

Speaker 76 I shot 63 here. Damn.

Speaker 76 And they say it's a course record here but like i don't know we played like different t-boxes and stuff like that so they said i shot 63 in 2020 it was the covet year and then i came off and they're like course record you beat lee trevino is a course record i'm like first of all lee trevino played here yeah second of all um this guy the t-boxes have got to be like i'm not playing from the back tees i mean we got the t-boxes are all over the place yeah some like driving you know you can hit driver on 11.

Speaker 76 um hank knows yeah hank does know so uh yeah they're the the t-boxes are all over the place too how close is Hank to being a professional?

Speaker 83 Yeah, break down Hank's game because you played.

Speaker 38 So Hank skipped a whole day of work.

Speaker 20 Yep.

Speaker 19 Played all 18 with you and Jake Owen.

Speaker 25 Said he had the best day ever while we were working.

Speaker 65 We're all like, these guys barely slept.

Speaker 32 I don't know. No, there was a.

Speaker 43 They're sitting here being like, there it is. Did you bring a camera?

Speaker 63 Did you bring a camera out with you?

Speaker 79 No. My phone.
I took a couple of shows.

Speaker 110 That would have been smart for an internet company, but go ahead.

Speaker 76 I took some video.

Speaker 76 So Hank comes up, says he's a 14,

Speaker 76 and immediately Jake is like, this is bullshit. This guy's a sandbagger.
Because like the first couple of shots, you know, you like ripped driver on two.

Speaker 76 I mean, he was good. He was like, I don't know, maybe like he'd be a really good traveling 14.
Like, I want Hank and a member guest.

Speaker 128 Oh. So you get a lot of shots.

Speaker 38 Is that a backhand compliment? Because I've gotten that a few times too.

Speaker 104 Yeah.

Speaker 38 It's like, it's like, yeah. So it's like we're saying.

Speaker 48 Well, you're better than

Speaker 104 you're saying you are, right?

Speaker 129 Basically, right, okay.

Speaker 76 Yeah, you're better than you're saying you are, is a sandbagger. And I think, yeah, I think Hank, like, I think he could easily, he's got a gorgeous golf swing.

Speaker 76 So, like, I think he could be a five-handicap, no problem. You just gotta, you just gotta play.
You just gotta let him play more.

Speaker 108 Oh, I mean, yes, thank you.

Speaker 60 I don't feel, I don't know if he physically could play more.

Speaker 83 There's not enough time in the day for him to play more.

Speaker 76 He's just got to play more. You guys tape at night? I mean, like,

Speaker 33 later in the day.

Speaker 38 So, break down the weaknesses. What are the weak points?

Speaker 76 got it we hit a we hit one shank on a chip oh chipping yeah like kind of around the green like he could get

Speaker 76 keep it in front of him he gets it up around the greens and then i feel like too he's gotten better we talked about this he's gotten better he's in his game he says and so and so he's making bogeys

Speaker 76 and he's like no i'm totally fine with that and making bogeys i'm like no no dude like you can you can make pars like we can like let's make five pars and four bogeys and let's not make any double bogeys and so yeah he'd get to like number six number seven which is that par three that Steph hit a hole and one in two years ago and he'd like he'd play first six holes like really good and then get to number seven and like you know hit pull one over there and then chip over here.

Speaker 48 Oh no, that was that was the one.

Speaker 78 That was the putt.

Speaker 76 He had one okay he had the greatest putt I've ever seen in my life. On number seven.

Speaker 32 Oh man, we should have had on camera. Damn it.

Speaker 52 That would have been sick.

Speaker 76 He uh he okay, so he hit a pretty bad T-shot on seven and then, and then hit a pretty bad chip. Um, it rolled, the pins in the front, and this green is like 100 feet.

Speaker 76 And he, the pins in the front, and he's in the back. And he, he can, like, if I was playing in the tournament, I'd chip it because he has to go over the corner of the bunker, basically.

Speaker 76 And so he doesn't chip it. He, like, just hits his putt.
It's like a, it's like a putt-putt putt, like a mini-golf putt.

Speaker 76 And he just goes right through basically the fringe, the rough, and then the fringe again, and then rolls all the way down, takes the break, and goes like two feet or like less than a less than two feet from the hole.

Speaker 76 Gimme.

Speaker 53 Great four. Great leg.

Speaker 30 Four on to the next one.

Speaker 39 Our plan is working perfectly because if people didn't hate Hank enough for golfing, they're going to hate him even more that we're just recapping his round.

Speaker 71 This is awesome.

Speaker 74 I fucking love this.

Speaker 43 This is what I do every time I get.

Speaker 124 You set him up again.

Speaker 38 Can I give you another strength of Hank's game? Yeah. You probably saw this once or twice.

Speaker 38 When he hits a shot and then after he makes the contact, like he'll try to hit a draw, but he doesn't really know how to hit a draw.

Speaker 38 And then after he hits it, then he'll start like twisting his club to the side, like he's willing it, like in the old Tiger Woods game. You could put spin on it in mid-air.

Speaker 46 Turn his body like, yeah,

Speaker 81 after the fact.

Speaker 55 He's very good at that.

Speaker 109 I got a dumb question for you, Marty, because watching you around here, you are the mayor of this whole tournament.

Speaker 69 Is having like an incredible golf game when you're not a pro, like one of the greatest, like, get you into places thing? Because I feel like everyone wants to play with you.

Speaker 70 You know, everyone.

Speaker 25 Everyone respects the hell out of you. And it's a lot because your golf game is so good, right?

Speaker 76 I I think that what it's helped me in this tournament, like at least meet a lot of people because I don't feel like everybody knows me here. And I've, you know, and I've, it's 15 years ago.

Speaker 76 I retired, no, 10 years ago. I retired exactly 10 years ago in September.
So

Speaker 76 I feel like everyone kind of looks at the top of the leaderboard usually or like who's winning or who's around there or whatever. So then I can like go and say hello.
And I'm pretty friendly.

Speaker 76 So I'll like, I'm not afraid to like go say hi to somebody. Yeah.

Speaker 76 And like them tell me to fuck off or like i don't know you or who is you can feel that yeah but then most most everybody and that's the fun part about this place is most everybody's super friendly it's a pretty humbling place like that the player meeting last night like steph is there aaron rodgers is there guys that like justin gaitchy's there like guys that like are the top of the top and like you're just sort of sitting in there too and it's cool you're the top of all of them it's really cool that's cool golf though that's something but it's something they all want to be the best yeah they want to be those guys do for sure yeah they want your golf i could probably sell my game yeah, yeah.

Speaker 104 A lot of money, yeah.

Speaker 62 If you could do that, I would do that.

Speaker 85 If you had picked golf instead of tennis, would you have been a professional golfer?

Speaker 46 Because you were playing tennis when you were two, right?

Speaker 76 Yeah, I was playing, I played golf and tennis and baseball at a pretty high level and like junior or whatever. I stopped baseball at 13, I stopped golf at 14.

Speaker 76 So, I played like junior golf and junior tennis, like kind of trying to figure out which one or whatever, which one I liked more.

Speaker 78 And I liked the whitest guy ever, the other, yeah,

Speaker 76 the country club Bo Jackson.

Speaker 76 that's great and so they're like so that yeah so they um so they're trying I'm trying to figure out which one my father is a tennis teacher he teaches at a club um in Vero Beach Florida and he pushed me towards tennis he's been going to the U.S.

Speaker 76 Open before I was born as a fan yeah so I showed like a little bit of promise in tennis and it was like all that was it all tennis yeah yeah and I so I played like junior golf I was a good junior you know junior player and whatever I think I could have figured it out but tennis was the one I think it also helps that you've got a cool name yeah Hardy Fish like forgetting simpson fish i didn't deal with that my entire life could have been that that's a great name for a country singer marty marty fish yeah and it's with a d too which is great yeah marty with a d yeah that's cool yeah uh all right so this week you're gonna you are you gonna win can you win for us so that when people watch and you guys bet on it no well i mean we i should i will yeah i will okay are you sponsored sponsored by

Speaker 38 would you like to be sponsored by part of my take i'd love to be sponsored by part of my hat i have a part of my take hat yeah you want to wear that hat?

Speaker 98 I'd love that hat.

Speaker 29 Yeah, wear that hat. Yeah.

Speaker 38 Here, I'll trade you. Game Warren.
Okay.

Speaker 76 I'll trade you hats.

Speaker 87 There it is.

Speaker 63 All right, so you're going to be wearing that hat when we watch on.

Speaker 76 Well, I got to. Well, I'll ask the guys if I can wear that.

Speaker 76 No, you can wear that.

Speaker 38 They paid you? Okay, I don't want to take money out of your pocket. No, no.

Speaker 29 Oh, definitely.

Speaker 29 Yeah, that's what it is.

Speaker 29 There it is.

Speaker 85 Could Hank ever play in this tournament?

Speaker 109 Could you get him in this tournament?

Speaker 125 It would be very fun.

Speaker 125 We're going to get in this tournament.

Speaker 11 What about me? What if I get good?

Speaker 76 I can get a lot of people in this tournament.

Speaker 39 Hank, no?

Speaker 128 That's a tough one.

Speaker 71 Zach? What about Zach?

Speaker 118 I could get Zach in this tournament.

Speaker 81 Zach's the nicest dude ever.

Speaker 76 Zach's like, no, I don't want to play.

Speaker 69 Do you think PFT and I will ever play in this tournament?

Speaker 19 I'd have to get so much, so much better.

Speaker 76 Yeah, you guys should 100% play in this tournament.

Speaker 117 Yeah.

Speaker 76 You guys should just have the, you should do the threes. Just do a threesome.

Speaker 62 That would be hilarious if they allow it.

Speaker 11 Be like, they can't win it, but they're just going to do a three-man scramble.

Speaker 29 That's all.

Speaker 50 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 70 Yeah, like just see just see what it is this is part of my take score they can't technically win it but we're just gonna put it up on the leaderboard it'd be good for tv i think that's the only way we can keep up with the pace of play it would be very funny i think we could actually figure that out throw that out to them i will because us because the other part of that is like we would just fight the entire time yeah like when we do scrambles together it's just a it's a fight on whose ball is better and like is there like another podcast that you guys can play um caller daddy all are all the golf podcasts are significantly better than us.

Speaker 76 Yeah, maybe not them.

Speaker 76 Yeah.

Speaker 38 We could find one. Come town.
No free ads.

Speaker 118 United.

Speaker 76 But like, no free ads on anyone, but like

Speaker 76 the Lebatur guys, can we just...

Speaker 62 Yeah, we'd play them.

Speaker 43 Yeah, we'd smoke them.

Speaker 108 We'd smoke them.

Speaker 57 Rosillo by himself.

Speaker 117 I brought Rosillo out.

Speaker 76 I brought Rosillo out a couple weeks ago to Bel Air Country Club.

Speaker 76 And I didn't know he was that bad at golf.

Speaker 38 How bad are we talking?

Speaker 33 I hate this.

Speaker 38 He's too strong.

Speaker 121 He is too strong.

Speaker 60 He's too strong.

Speaker 76 his back's getting away his stomach's too big he's too strong absolutely big yep his stomach is too big to get around the club oh no he's got he's got a great golf body he's got too much muscle but he's got a great golf body otherwise okay yeah great golf body besides the whole body besides he's got a great all the muscle

Speaker 76 if you take away a lot like three quarters of the muscle yeah perfect golf body besides shaped like a pear yeah his entire pill

Speaker 76 anyways i brought him out and i was like you know rascillo we actually talked about you guys.

Speaker 108 Yeah, I love this guy, whatever.

Speaker 76 Yeah, he was like a, I didn't know he was like a 20-handicap.

Speaker 40 Yeah.

Speaker 76 I don't think he golfs a lot. No, well, yeah.

Speaker 52 We locked into tape.

Speaker 105 I think he hits balls a lot.

Speaker 78 Yeah, he might.

Speaker 76 Goes out to the, you know, the local muni and hits balls. Yeah.

Speaker 47 Um, I had, I had one last question.

Speaker 23 Were you the first person,

Speaker 47 athlete, professional athlete, to talk about mental health?

Speaker 110 Because that's kind of cool.

Speaker 19 And I'm not saying it is like a brag, but like we've gotten to a place now in sports where we actually as fans like realize, realize oh these are human beings where I think 15 years ago that just didn't exist.

Speaker 76 I mean it took me three years to actually talk about it like

Speaker 76 you know out openly out outwardly to non you know close friends and family.

Speaker 76 I mean I know that Michael Phelps talked about it early.

Speaker 76 It seemed like my Netflix doc came out at a perfect time where they actually waited because COVID happened and they waited a year to to to start those untold series on Netflix and

Speaker 76 and it came out like a year after you know everyone was locked up and all that and like I'm sure I mean that was a hard time for a lot of people mentally mental health wise and so

Speaker 76 yeah that was a it was a it felt like I was doing

Speaker 76 doing good by sharing my story educating people on what it what it is and how it what it looks like or how it feels um

Speaker 76 and then yeah and then giving people a success story to go okay there's someone who, like, I may or may not have heard of them, or it's an easy Google search, but like, he used to play tennis and was kind of in the fire and got taken away by mental health, by severe anxiety disorder, and

Speaker 76 then was able to go back and play again, like in the same place that he couldn't play before three years later. And, like, I wanted to share that success story.
And a lot of guys now are coming out.

Speaker 76 I mean, I look back, that was 2012. I look back, I didn't play at in 2013 at all.

Speaker 76 And I didn't play the U.S. Open and put out like a press release or something.
It was probably on Twitter, but like something like that where it was like, I'm not playing, can't play.

Speaker 76 Knee's still bothering me. And had nothing to do with my knee, obviously.

Speaker 76 So it was still, I still wasn't comfortable saying that. People are more comfortable now.

Speaker 76 It helps that guys like Max Crosby and guys like Tyson Fury and, you know, these are like, I mean, to call them

Speaker 76 soft or to call them, you know, not tough, to you know suck it up you know you're soft whatever um to tell those guys that i mean they're the opposite of that obviously and so um you know having having those guys and then and then you know seeing simone biles and seeing naomi osaka and guys like you know ladies like that come out and you know at the top of the top of their sport um is is is nice to see them being being able to do that.

Speaker 76 I don't know if I had any impact on that. If I did, awesome.
If I didn't, great too, because they're still talking about it. Yeah.

Speaker 108 You would have beaten Frederick, too.

Speaker 76 100%. Yeah.
You just got to say that. I lost him the week before that, and I was like super close, too.
So I definitely wouldn't have beaten him had I taken the court in that moment. But

Speaker 104 I was in bad shit.

Speaker 117 Is he your goat?

Speaker 76 No. Novak is.

Speaker 72 Yes. Good answer.

Speaker 35 Novak is just because

Speaker 76 it's like Roger.

Speaker 76 Roger won one French. He's the best grass score player ever, but then he won one French open.
Novak has won a few French. And like, I mean, he's won, I think, 12 Australian Opens.

Speaker 76 I mean, just incredible.

Speaker 76 And I played all,

Speaker 76 I played the three of them a bunch, and I never beat Novak. I just, like, he was, everything came back,

Speaker 76 everything came back, and everything came back with interest, and everything came back deep in the corners, and like, just never gave you anything. You had to earn everything.

Speaker 76 And Roger and Rafo were like, you could, you could, Roger would dump some balls and like he'd try some shots that normal people wouldn't try. Even professional, normal professionals wouldn't try.

Speaker 76 And then Rafa was like,

Speaker 76 Roger's the most talented player ever. Like, he's the most talent-laden person in, I mean, maybe in any sport.
Michael Phelps is like, have you guys seen Phelps in person?

Speaker 128 He's a human dolphin.

Speaker 129 He's a human dolphin.

Speaker 38 Don't forget about Joey Chestnut, though. Yeah.

Speaker 76 Yeah, that's big. Yeah.
We just saw him. Yeah.

Speaker 76 Michael Phelps is a human dolphin. Like his torso is his entire body.
Like it's insane. Yeah.
So yeah,

Speaker 76 Roger was like born to play tennis. He's built to play tennis.
Yeah.

Speaker 63 Yeah. Oh, I have one last dumb question.

Speaker 40 I never understood about tennis.

Speaker 107 When you guys just like give up on sets, what's the point they give up on a set?

Speaker 63 What's the number?

Speaker 25 Like where it'll be like 4-1 and they'll be like, I'm just not going to try anymore.

Speaker 76 Well, it's got to be a three out of five set match. Or you got to be.
Or it's got to be super hot or

Speaker 76 you're playing somebody who's way better.

Speaker 57 Because you'll see like Joker will sometimes sometimes, like, he'll win a match and he lost the second set six to one.

Speaker 108 And you're like, what happened?

Speaker 76 For for Novak, he's an inch. I mean, tennis is super mental.
Like, it's in, like, it really, you leave the locker room, you're all by yourself. Go figure it out in front of 15,000 people.

Speaker 76 Like, just, and people watch, whatever. Like, just figure it out.
And so you don't have anyone to bounce things. I don't have a caddy.
You can't call timeout.

Speaker 76 You don't even, you know, you can't sub somebody in for you. So it's like, holy shit.

Speaker 76 Those guys, yeah, like

Speaker 76 when you get to a point where it's double break, and maybe you're playing, like, so two break, like you've lost your serve twice in the set, and you're playing somebody that's way better than you or better than you, and you need to, like, it's all conserving energy, right?

Speaker 76 But like, Novak, honestly, I feel like he needs the

Speaker 76 he, he's so much better than these guys that like he, he'll go second set, second round match in a grand slam, and he'll lose the second set 6-1.

Speaker 76 Like you said, and it's like, where did that come from? He, I, honestly, God, I think he does it to like fire, like, to, like, to put himself in uncomfortable situations. Right.

Speaker 76 Like, it legitimately does. Like,

Speaker 76 he needs to, like,

Speaker 76 go at his, his player box and, like, you know, get feisty on the court. And if he's not, he's not

Speaker 76 himself.

Speaker 76 And I think that's why people don't love watching him play or don't love him watching him play as much as Nadal or Federer because they're such a classy, classic, like, Roger's such a classic, classy player.

Speaker 76 Rafa's like, you know, that brute-like kind of strength and like in-your-face bull, but he's a sweetheart of a guy.

Speaker 76 And like, Novak is also very nice, nice, but you don't, he does, his personality doesn't come out because he's like, sometimes he looks like a dick on the court because he's like going at his player box or yelling at someone or, you know, talking to the umpire or whatever, but he's like putting himself in these like weird situations to like fire himself up.

Speaker 38 I guess it's the thing, too, because if you try to conserve energy, you're also conserving your opponent's energy because you're not working hard. So it's like, we're both getting a break here.

Speaker 76 You're just, and sometimes, I mean, you can get into, you know, there's. in the summer after Wimbledon, what's going on right now, there's a bunch of tournaments in the States.

Speaker 76 It's Washington, D.C., it's Cincinnati. It's obviously New York and the U.S.
Open, like in the dead of summer. You know, there was a tournament in Atlanta, dead of summer.
I mean, it's

Speaker 76 110 degrees and 150 on the court, right? Like, it's like incredibly hot. And so sometimes your body just doesn't respond.
And there's, and you can't call it.

Speaker 76 It's like, I can't sub somebody in because I didn't sleep well the night.

Speaker 108 Yeah.

Speaker 38 Oh, Wimbledon is this weekend, right? The finals? Yeah. Yeah.
So who won?

Speaker 63 No, we're running this tomorrow.

Speaker 108 Yeah, I know, but who's going to win?

Speaker 121 Who will win?

Speaker 76 I think Novak wins this. Yes.

Speaker 76 I really do.

Speaker 76 I think this is the last thing he gets to 25 majors, and I think it's the last one he wins.

Speaker 76 I don't think he can win a hardcore. He can't win the French.
And then he's, I don't think, like with Center and Alkaraz.

Speaker 76 I mean, it can happen, but I don't think he can win a slam outside of Wimbledon anymore. He's an amazing grass court player.

Speaker 38 Did you ever see the Battle of the Surfaces? I had forgotten about it, and people tweeted at me. It was Federer against Nadal, and they made the court half grass, half clay.

Speaker 76 I remember that. Didn't they play? Didn't Roger and Andre play on like the top of a helipad?

Speaker 30 Yeah, yeah, in like, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 129 Yeah, yeah, that was awesome.

Speaker 76 I don't know who won that one, though.

Speaker 19 Um, all right, well, Marty, you're the man.

Speaker 65 Uh, thank you for listening, and also, we're gonna be rooting hard for you.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's wrap up the show.

Speaker 18 We got Fire Fest of the Week.

Speaker 72 Hank, Chill Week?

Speaker 54 Fire Fest of the Week.

Speaker 53 Yeah, I mean, it's tough to have a Fire Fest on Chill Week. I do have one, but it's...
You do?

Speaker 74 Yeah.

Speaker 126 You didn't get to play more golf with Marty Fish?

Speaker 53 I already miss Marty.

Speaker 74 Yeah.

Speaker 2 He's a great golfer.

Speaker 34 Great guy. Great guy.

Speaker 3 Better person than golfer?

Speaker 53 It's tough. It's a toss-up, but yes.

Speaker 37 Okay, okay.

Speaker 38 That's kind of disrespectful to his golf game. Yeah.

Speaker 53 Oh, he's a great golfer, but he's just an even better dude. Yeah.

Speaker 53 No, my Fire Fest of the Week, which it's one of those things where it sounds crazy to say I'm not that upset about the fact that I lost $8,000 PFT in a long drive contest because...

Speaker 34 Is that video out?

Speaker 86 It's out.

Speaker 53 It came out today. Okay, I love it.
It came out Thursday. Go watch it.
Long drive contest. PFT.

Speaker 53 Basically, after the dunk thing ended, the day of, was like, all right, let's do a long drive contest, $1,000 a yard. And I shook his hand really without processing what the bet was.

Speaker 55 Are you calling me predatory?

Speaker 53 No, it was just one of, I shook your hand. I agree.

Speaker 24 I was just thinking, Hank, you take advantage of a guy.

Speaker 38 No, a guy like me, I'm always thinking of content. I'm always thinking about producing videos, content for the show.
And so I'm thinking to myself, okay, what's next up now that Hank failed to dunk?

Speaker 38 Let's get another challenge for Hank.

Speaker 112 Yeah. So

Speaker 53 for the last, you know, six months or whatever, it's been kind of like, you know, back of my head, like, I'm fucked.

Speaker 53 Like, PFT can hit it at the time probably 60 yards, 70 yards easily further than me. So I was.
Looking at a big, a big check.

Speaker 53 He hurt his back. Honestly, I thought I was going to win because his back was so injured and he wasn't able to, you know, fully unload on a drive.

Speaker 38 My torque was compromised.

Speaker 53 I ended up only losing by eight yards, $8,000, which, again, like, it sounds crazy because it is a lot of money, but I'm like pretty happy with that.

Speaker 53 Can I offer you something? And then I found out I own another thousand, which I don't,

Speaker 74 I don't, I don't know that.

Speaker 45 Well, I'm not making you pay the other thousand.

Speaker 38 I went back through my through my Zell history and I found that in 2022, I had...

Speaker 53 Well, you found all, you have never accepted a Zelle.

Speaker 38 Yeah, I didn't know that I had to accept them. And so I go back and all the payments that I've gotten there are from people who are paying me like 50 bucks, 100 bucks, whatever.

Speaker 38 And then back in 2022, I see an outstanding payment from Hank Lockwood. And we were trying to figure out where it was from.
We think it was at the Final Four in New Orleans at the casino.

Speaker 38 I think I gave you a thousand bucks to gamble with that night. But I was such a nice guy that I'm going to waive that debt.
And then I'm not going to make you pay me the $8,000 in cash for the drive.

Speaker 38 I'm going to make you work it off maybe via a series of parlays.

Speaker 78 Ooh.

Speaker 111 I also have a deal for you. Okay.

Speaker 26 So you owe them $8,000. I'm willing to match and double.

Speaker 72 You owe PFT $8,800.

Speaker 37 Yeah, right?

Speaker 114 Is that right? Yeah.

Speaker 26 I'm willing to match and double.

Speaker 107 So that's $16,000.

Speaker 42 So you would get your debt cleared and you would make $8,000.

Speaker 26 And all you have to do is a one-hour comedy special that we put out on the Part of My Take YouTube, and it has to have a million views.

Speaker 120 No, thanks. Okay.
All right.

Speaker 35 Well, hey, listen, I was just thinking about content.

Speaker 38 I'm always willing to figure out ways to negotiate this, Hank. How about getting a cat?

Speaker 29 Ooh.

Speaker 37 How about a soul patch?

Speaker 38 No. How about dunking?

Speaker 51 Tell you what. How about abs?

Speaker 53 Abs are coming. I mean,

Speaker 53 I had abs at one point, maybe not after the last two or three weeks. Listen, the

Speaker 53 Boston to Chicago to Boston.

Speaker 53 uh pebble to to tow i'm burned out yeah that's a lot that's so much That sounds hard. I'm burnt out.
No traveling for like two weeks for me.

Speaker 35 You sound like Mincy.

Speaker 38 Hank, I can waive that debt as well, and

Speaker 38 I'll pay you $8,000 if Max gets a soul patch.

Speaker 53 Wait, that's

Speaker 53 why you do that deal, Max.

Speaker 53 I'll give you $500.

Speaker 51 I'll put it with him.

Speaker 24 Yeah, I get $4,000.

Speaker 34 $200.

Speaker 29 I will

Speaker 80 happily decline that.

Speaker 124 $4,000 for a soul patch?

Speaker 50 No, thank you.

Speaker 38 Zach, what are your thoughts on the soul patch?

Speaker 81 I think $4,000 soul patch. You got to take soul patch.

Speaker 35 All right, if we're offering money around, Zach, what about $10K?

Speaker 18 You want $10K cash?

Speaker 3 What do you need me to do for that?

Speaker 65 Just a little sex tape.

Speaker 35 I want to see how much you're not an indoor course guy.

Speaker 48 It's more of an outer course guy.

Speaker 81 Nobody's watching that weak stroke game. That's not going to.

Speaker 50 Okay, all right.

Speaker 52 That's fine. Offers there, though.

Speaker 35 If you ever get

Speaker 27 10K.

Speaker 38 Hank, honestly, like you improved a lot.

Speaker 38 Most improved driver award. The MID, the middle.

Speaker 52 You were close, dude.

Speaker 41 I mean, you also had, like, people who should watch the video, but Hank had, I think, four really good drives.

Speaker 48 PFT just hit one bomb.

Speaker 53 PFT hit one low, low, like hit a perfect drive. But I'm happy with my effort.

Speaker 29 Just the result wasn't what we wanted. You'll get there, Hank.

Speaker 114 You'll get there. You'll get there.

Speaker 26 And maybe you'll get the trackman working.

Speaker 90 Yeah.

Speaker 53 As the golf guy. I will get the track man working.

Speaker 53 That's a promise. Me and you'll be grinding.
Next week, we're back to the grind.

Speaker 38 And it's good to have my relationship with Hank back, not as competitors, but as

Speaker 38 what CEO.

Speaker 53 Yeah, the field came out.

Speaker 53 I think it's a gettable field.

Speaker 107 When is

Speaker 27 the field for the Internet Invitational?

Speaker 38 I'm excited about it. I was looking at the lineup.

Speaker 53 It's gettable. There's no one on there that I think can be you.

Speaker 38 I'm feeling good about my game. Rick Shields, bring it on, bitch.

Speaker 48 When is our other

Speaker 107 Chill Week videos coming out?

Speaker 53 In the next couple weeks.

Speaker 119 Okay, because we got two more videos that are great.

Speaker 12 One is the Usain Bolt versus Joey Chestnut challenge, which was great.

Speaker 8 And the other one,

Speaker 27 maybe the end of me and Hank's friendship.

Speaker 23 For a brief moment, our friendship was over.

Speaker 53 We had like three holes, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 26 I think the exact words were, I'm pretty much done with you, is what Hank told me.

Speaker 80 There was no pretty much.

Speaker 52 It was just, I'm done with you.

Speaker 29 It was, I'm done with you.

Speaker 4 I'm done with you after this or something.

Speaker 80 He goes, I'm for real done with you. This isn't a joke anymore.
Like, it's not like when this video is over, we're going to be fine.

Speaker 80 I'm done forever.

Speaker 79 I think I'm done forever was the words that came out of it.

Speaker 103 Oh, it's a great time. Very chill.

Speaker 29 It was very chill.

Speaker 72 Oh, all right, PFT, you got your Fire Fest?

Speaker 38 Yeah, my Fire Fest of the week is Firefest. Oh.
I think it might be my Firefest.

Speaker 43 Okay.

Speaker 38 Billy McFarland from Firefest hit me up two days ago.

Speaker 38 As he does, we've got a little texting relationship. Don't really hang out that much, but one day we'll start to chill.

Speaker 38 He hit me up a couple days ago.

Speaker 38 Do you think that's a good investment?

Speaker 28 No.

Speaker 53 $205?

Speaker 53 Yeah.

Speaker 49 $2,500, maybe.

Speaker 38 I mean, the brand equity alone and the documentaries have been made about Firefest. What if...

Speaker 53 How are you going to make $205,000 back if you own Firefest?

Speaker 38 I'm going to do Firefest.

Speaker 53 But why can't we just do Firefest?

Speaker 73 Yeah, we could just do it ourselves.

Speaker 38 But then do it F-I-R-E.

Speaker 100 And we can light each other on fire.

Speaker 16 We want the world. Wow, okay.

Speaker 45 We already did the data.

Speaker 18 Hold on a second.

Speaker 26 What if we just have an actual Firefest and we're just like flamethrowers?

Speaker 38 You talk about Burning Man.

Speaker 126 Yeah, but like fun Burning Man, not like weirdo Burning Man.

Speaker 46 I'm talking about like basically just a Fire Fest where it's us as 12-year-olds when you first realize that you can light a match and you're like, this is awesome.

Speaker 37 Pyrofest.

Speaker 54 Pyrofest. Pyrofest?

Speaker 16 Pyrofest?

Speaker 52 Yeah, Fireworks.

Speaker 62 Yeah.

Speaker 38 Okay, so the fact that you guys thought it would be like $5,000 or less, what are you getting? Nothing. Yo, you get, I just said, you get the iconic brand.
Yeah.

Speaker 53 I have a question. What do you mean you get it?

Speaker 38 You get the, you own Firefest.

Speaker 43 You own the IP.

Speaker 80 If someone owns the IP,

Speaker 80 if someone purchases the IP of Firefest, can that person sue us for this segment?

Speaker 125 No.

Speaker 125 Fuck.

Speaker 43 No, definitely not. No Maj.

Speaker 125 Okay.

Speaker 86 Yeah. Well, okay.

Speaker 111 Also, okay, they sue us and we just say, okay,

Speaker 18 we'll just end every Friday show with, what was the worst thing that happened this week to you?

Speaker 70 New segment.

Speaker 51 Damn.

Speaker 71 Got us.

Speaker 38 I'm considering it very strongly, but I'm less so now that you guys thought that the value would be so much less than what they're asking.

Speaker 79 Yeah.

Speaker 26 That seems like

Speaker 4 when you play whose line is it in, okay, wait for that.

Speaker 8 The market is way off.

Speaker 38 All right, so now I'm thinking about it from a bigger picture. I would be spending $200,000 on a name for a festival that has not happened twice.

Speaker 53 Yes. And you might like pick up the existing lawsuits.
Like if if I know Billy,

Speaker 38 yeah, that's true. I would fire Billy.

Speaker 43 Day one. That's true.
Dee one.

Speaker 35 You might be getting sued.

Speaker 38 Act one, day one.

Speaker 38 Billy, you're fired.

Speaker 53 Also, you now.

Speaker 84 Yeah, here's some active lawsuits.

Speaker 2 Yeah, which actually would be a genius move by him.

Speaker 56 It would be a great move.

Speaker 38 It's all up to this guy right now.

Speaker 48 Yeah.

Speaker 38 Maybe I'd get my dick sucked, though, for a case of water.

Speaker 14 Case of water, yeah.

Speaker 65 Yeah.

Speaker 35 Yeah, we get him some body armor.

Speaker 38 Okay, well, I'm considering it less so, but still it's rolling around in there.

Speaker 79 Okay.

Speaker 26 All right, my firefest. I got two.

Speaker 5 The first one, we're out here.

Speaker 119 Chill week.

Speaker 27 Tahoe. Awesome.

Speaker 18 Thank you to the American Century Classic or American Century Championship.

Speaker 34 Yep. Championship.
Championship.

Speaker 59 Awesome event.

Speaker 73 Shout out, Steve, for hooking it up for us.

Speaker 26 We love coming here.

Speaker 66 Hopefully you can come here every year.

Speaker 12 But it's a great event. And part of the event is like, there's a lot of really cool athletes, stars, you know, just hanging out, doing the driving range, getting on the golf course.

Speaker 24 And I happened to run into an old nemesis of mine who's now i would say we're on good terms but uh one aaron rogers and uh i said to him do you just not respond to text anymore because i had i think i was at about six blue bubbles uh with him and i want to say this time it was not me like asking him to come on the show i was maybe asking for an update of whether he was going to sign with the Steelers.

Speaker 38 Can I give you Jersey Jerry's number?

Speaker 11 Yeah, there was a Jersey Jerry text in there.

Speaker 11 So it wasn't me like like asking for anything, but he had not responded for months and months and months.

Speaker 26 So I went up to him.

Speaker 40 I was like, would you just not respond to text anymore?

Speaker 26 He said, yeah, I'd changed my number.

Speaker 66 And I was like, oh, okay.

Speaker 26 Well, that explains that.

Speaker 66 I will never have Aaron Rodgers' new number.

Speaker 18 And then our friend Marty Fish, who Hank played golf with, was standing next to Aaron.

Speaker 42 He was like, big cat, I'll give you Aaron's new number.

Speaker 66 I was like, oh, great.

Speaker 14 So I'm back.

Speaker 42 He sent me the new number.

Speaker 27 I went to text Aaron being like, got your new number.

Speaker 8 And it was just the same number.

Speaker 115 And he was just, he basically was just trying to end the conversation with me by saying he has a new new number.

Speaker 26 But he's seen every text.

Speaker 38 That's a classic move.

Speaker 41 Yeah, I felt like such a fucking fool.

Speaker 38 So the fact that it's...

Speaker 53 You type the number and then

Speaker 35 all my texts were right there.

Speaker 26 And I was like, God damn it.

Speaker 38 The fact that it's blue bubbles, that means he doesn't have you muted, though, right?

Speaker 37 I don't know.

Speaker 55 Or he hasn't blocked you.

Speaker 48 Well, no, he might have. I don't know.

Speaker 38 So when you told me that he changed his number, the first thing I did, I was like, well, I'm going to send his old number to Jersey Jerry because now it's the old number. Uh-oh.

Speaker 38 So now Jersey Jerry has Aaron Rodgers' real number, but that's Aaron Rodgers' fault That's his fault for all.

Speaker 43 For

Speaker 38 telling you a lie.

Speaker 8 But I did, I have to tip my cap.

Speaker 12 That's a hilarious move to just tell someone you change the number and like just let them walk off.

Speaker 71 It's a good move.

Speaker 26 Yeah. So good move by him.

Speaker 18 And then the other Fire Fest is just time zones.

Speaker 27 I hate Pacific time zone.

Speaker 17 It sucks.

Speaker 1 Everything's just two nights in a row, I've just pulled.

Speaker 3 What?

Speaker 114 You love it?

Speaker 72 I don't hate it. Okay.
I've pulled up.

Speaker 28 Like we have long days and I'll pull up the Cubs game being like, I'm going to watch the Cubs game in my hotel room.

Speaker 126 And And they're just like, oh, they're down eight, nothing. It's the eighth inning.

Speaker 105 Fuck.

Speaker 38 Yeah, you get the notifications that games are starting here at like 2 p.m.

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 38 It's like, wait, we're playing another day game today? What's going on?

Speaker 101 The Mets and Orioles are playing right now.

Speaker 79 It's 9 a.m. That's crazy.

Speaker 43 Yeah.

Speaker 28 It makes no sense.

Speaker 27 So I'm not a fan of the Pacific time zone.

Speaker 11 Everyone always says it's the best time zone for sports.

Speaker 101 I couldn't disagree more.

Speaker 38 Yeah, I don't like the idea of waking up and having breakfast while football is coming on.

Speaker 114 And I've said it before, but you like, so it's the, they always.

Speaker 53 That might be the number one conversation we've had on this show.

Speaker 43 Yeah, well, on the internet, it has it.

Speaker 8 They, they always say, oh, well, 9 a.m.

Speaker 66 or whatever, 10 a.m.

Speaker 49 NFL Sunday.

Speaker 8 It's like, all right, and then what do you do at 8 p.m.

Speaker 35 on Sunday night?

Speaker 9 There's no more football.

Speaker 55 Yeah, football is not a breakfast sport.

Speaker 38 Tennis is a breakfast sport. Correct.

Speaker 12 Golf can be a breakfast sport.

Speaker 51 Football championship coming up.

Speaker 38 Football is a beer sport. Yeah.

Speaker 32 Soccer is a morning sport.

Speaker 38 Soccer could be either way. Yeah.
Yeah. Mostly morning.
Yeah. Soccer is a hungover sport.
Yeah.

Speaker 5 Football, you need to have your wits about you.

Speaker 57 Yep.

Speaker 22 So, all right, Zach.

Speaker 81 My favorite of the week, we did travel this week, is personally packing.

Speaker 81 So, I've got, right now, I probably have like 11 pairs of underwear, four phone chargers, and two pairs of headphones, but I've got two pairs of shorts.

Speaker 81 Didn't bring toothpaste, had to acquire that late in the game. Also, no shaving cream.
So, I'm way, somehow, ended up way...

Speaker 49 You're shaving with shaving cream?

Speaker 81 Do I opt somewhere else? I didn't even know you shaved.

Speaker 35 Do you have a full beard?

Speaker 35 Straight line.

Speaker 96 I just trim it up a little bit.

Speaker 43 Do you do it every day?

Speaker 81 No, just just whenever it's like

Speaker 119 disheveled.

Speaker 79 Okay.

Speaker 81 But somehow I ended up really tech-heavy in my backpack and no clothes.

Speaker 49 Wait, you just have no clothes?

Speaker 81 I have two pairs of shorts, an insane amount of boxers, but way too many chargers. I can't wear two pairs of headphones.
Like, it's not good

Speaker 79 at all. That is not good.

Speaker 38 What about socks?

Speaker 14 Socks?

Speaker 72 I do have a couple pairs of socks, but I didn't.

Speaker 81 match them correctly before leaving. So like they're two different styles of socks.

Speaker 81 So like we got like high arch support on the right and then no arch support on the left oh no this one starts moving around it's not good i've never packed the appropriate amount of socks i always pack like two pairs on a five-day trip or i'll pack like 12 pairs on a three-day trip never the right amount do you have bad arch support i don't have any arches but the the the bands the bands on the for the arch support we we either got to be tight on both sides or not at all oh

Speaker 74 super five feet weird yeah yeah yeah you're all you're all up a little bit yeah okay was the who's the person you were like that's cool that he's here?

Speaker 53 Like, celebrity where you were the most starstruck.

Speaker 81 I did hear murmurs of Baker Mayfield being here.

Speaker 115 I saw him this morning.

Speaker 81 How was that?

Speaker 94 Great. Really?

Speaker 81 Yeah. How was his energy?

Speaker 119 Great.

Speaker 81 You could kind of feel around.

Speaker 26 Fantastic.

Speaker 48 Good energy. Yeah.
That's awesome. That's so cool.

Speaker 59 Fantastic.

Speaker 26 I love that for you.

Speaker 33 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I wish you had been there.

Speaker 96 That would have been. Yeah.

Speaker 48 We'll try to figure out a way for you to meet him.

Speaker 38 What would you say? You want to practice? Do a practice interview. Hanks, Baker Mayfield.

Speaker 115 Do a practice interview.

Speaker 41 Yo, what's up, big cat? What's up, PFT? What's up? Hey, Baker.

Speaker 53 About to go hit some balls. That's awesome.

Speaker 81 How's your golf game doing today? Not great.

Speaker 53 You know, we're just going to try and hit them straight. Have a good time, you know?

Speaker 81 You get into anything fun for the offseason?

Speaker 53 Just training, you know? That's it.

Speaker 117 Anything else?

Speaker 81 Any kind of like whimsical fun stuff?

Speaker 53 No. No?

Speaker 37 There. Hall ball?

Speaker 74 I love that.

Speaker 53 Little ball, yeah, a little golf. Awesome.
Take the boat out.

Speaker 45 Sweet. Oh, you're a boat guy?

Speaker 53 Huge boat guy. Swim guy?

Speaker 29 Yeah, I swim too. Sick.

Speaker 74 How about you?

Speaker 35 Yeah, we get the boat sometime.

Speaker 74 No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 53 As if you were a bokey.

Speaker 74 Oh, but I dabble.

Speaker 43 Yeah.

Speaker 17 Nice.

Speaker 81 It's great to meet you, Baker.

Speaker 99 Shout out to you. You too.
What's your man?

Speaker 74 You're kind of the man.

Speaker 29 Oh, Zach. Nice to meet you, Baker.

Speaker 51 Yeah. You're busy.

Speaker 81 I get it. 100%.

Speaker 81 All right, guys. I appreciate meeting you, man.

Speaker 53 I'm kidding on that interview, by the way. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 26 Sorry about that. Yeah.

Speaker 65 Sorry about that. Baker.

Speaker 29 I gotta go.

Speaker 107 He's kind of a weird guy, but we love him.

Speaker 38 That was a good interview. That was good.

Speaker 16 Fair. I also like.

Speaker 43 Dropping a whimsical wasn't a good idea. Also, invited himself onto his boat.

Speaker 77 That was a good job.

Speaker 81 Well, I thought he opened up with a boat.

Speaker 32 He said, I have a boat, and he said, we could boat sometime.

Speaker 41 Misread.

Speaker 35 Yeah, that was a misread.

Speaker 29 Thank you for that. That's okay.

Speaker 34 That's why we practice. We practice, right?

Speaker 7 Because we're practicing training camp.

Speaker 81 I won't do any of that if we meet him.

Speaker 79 Yeah. Sure, Baker.
I'd love to be your best friend.

Speaker 38 No,

Speaker 23 if we somehow meet him, you have to drop a whimsical.

Speaker 99 Yeah, you have to.

Speaker 74 Okay. All right.
I'm going to do that for you. All right, perfect.
Love that.

Speaker 79 Good job, Zach. Great job.

Speaker 38 Zach's done great this week, by the way.

Speaker 26 Yes, he is. He's Julian Edelman.

Speaker 8 Our guy, Jules, said he's Rookie of the Year.

Speaker 41 Rookie of the Year. How about that?

Speaker 81 Yeah, that was a lot. I'm not sure how to, I don't know how to respond to Rookie of the Year.
That was very kind of him to say. I didn't see that coming.

Speaker 18 He's a man.

Speaker 86 Okay.

Speaker 90 Nice.

Speaker 29 Nice.

Speaker 17 Shout out to him.

Speaker 90 Shout out to him.

Speaker 92 Okay.

Speaker 1 Good show, boys. Great week.

Speaker 70 Do we have any other Fire Fests?

Speaker 22 Anything else?

Speaker 126 Onion-related.

Speaker 38 Anything else happen?

Speaker 27 Leaving dinner, Firefest. Storming out.

Speaker 115 Any storming out moments that happened?

Speaker 26 Firefest,

Speaker 9 no one.

Speaker 18 Max, memes, Shane, anything?

Speaker 80 Well, at one point, we went to dinner last night, and I didn't want onions on my tuna melt, so I got upset.

Speaker 86 Yeah.

Speaker 80 And then Pug asked me if I sleep with an onion.

Speaker 80 That really, really set me off. So I stormed out of dinner and went home.
Oh, wait, no, that wasn't me. That was Shane.

Speaker 90 Shane.

Speaker 52 Shane,

Speaker 91 You stormed out of dinner.

Speaker 112 You stormed. You stormed out of dinner.

Speaker 52 That was the definition of a storm.

Speaker 53 It went from I thought you were going to punch Pug to then you just I didn't hear the Pug question, by the way.

Speaker 130 They talked to me afterwards. I did not hear the Pug question.

Speaker 4 Oh, we thought you left because of Pug.

Speaker 38 No, because Pug roasted your ass. Yeah.

Speaker 79 I thought you were going to hit Pug.

Speaker 53 We were talking about how Big Ed sleeps with a pillow, or most of these guys sleep with a pillow under their legs. Yeah.

Speaker 120 Yeah.

Speaker 53 And Shane said something, and Pug was like, Do you sleep with an onion?

Speaker 30 Yeah.

Speaker 99 Which also made no sense.

Speaker 29 No, it was not.

Speaker 32 It made no sense.

Speaker 4 Pug was just feeling it.

Speaker 126 He was tapping in like a madman last night.

Speaker 26 Follow him on tap in.

Speaker 7 But Shane,

Speaker 41 you stormed out of dinner.

Speaker 130 I could feel like an AV-1 gangbang about to happen.

Speaker 4 It was. So

Speaker 8 Shane has some particular things that he likes and doesn't like when it comes to food.

Speaker 70 He did get lied to when we went to this place and asked if the tuna salad had onions. The guy said no.

Speaker 18 And then the first thing that you saw was an onion.

Speaker 67 That set it off on a bad foot.

Speaker 81 But when you didn't set it up, the set off was we were in line, and it was tuna salad was on the menu.

Speaker 130 And I just asked the guy, is there onions in the tuna salad? And you would have thought I pulled out a pistol and shot this man. Everyone was so surprised that I asked that.

Speaker 38 What was his reaction?

Speaker 96 Who was giving you that? He said, No, there's no onions.

Speaker 116 Who was giving you the shit?

Speaker 125 Everybody, they call me a pussy.

Speaker 29 I think the time.

Speaker 79 The word pussy was implied.

Speaker 80 I don't think it was said.

Speaker 104 Yeah.

Speaker 116 I'm pretty sure Memes called call me a pussy.

Speaker 51 Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 9 He might be next to me.

Speaker 41 He might have called you a pussy.

Speaker 126 Oh, child.

Speaker 80 Child. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 130 But like, it's not an uncommon thing. Like, every time we order.

Speaker 71 You don't like onions.

Speaker 100 Yeah, I don't like onions. But you like onion rings.

Speaker 125 I mean, they're fine.

Speaker 116 Fat got you on that one. They're fine.
Onion ring, yeah.

Speaker 38 But also, onions are in everything. That's a tough thing to not like to eat because they just sneak them into all sorts of sauces.
You probably get surprised by onions every day.

Speaker 53 I mean, you got back to the definitely.

Speaker 5 Yeah, tell us what happened when you stormed off.

Speaker 100 I've never, I don't, I I don't remember the last time I've, I've seen a storm off.

Speaker 24 It wasn't like, it wasn't as dramatic as.

Speaker 4 It was pretty.

Speaker 5 We were sitting there, all having dinner, having a couple beers, great live music.

Speaker 29 And

Speaker 4 you just said, you know what? Fuck you guys.

Speaker 100 And you got up and left.

Speaker 43 I did not say that.

Speaker 130 It was the opposite.

Speaker 24 What did you say?

Speaker 116 I said, thank you for the meal.

Speaker 86 And then I turned around and walked away.

Speaker 29 No way that happened.

Speaker 24 I did say thank you.

Speaker 122 I did 100%.

Speaker 74 Okay, but then you stormed off.

Speaker 125 Well, I walked away.

Speaker 54 You got up.

Speaker 35 We were all sat there for like an hour later.

Speaker 38 You leapt to your feet.

Speaker 34 Yeah.

Speaker 38 It was a leap to your feet.

Speaker 43 Yeah, there was a chance I thought you were going to

Speaker 53 go and attack Pug for Astronomy.

Speaker 45 I didn't even hear the Pug thing.

Speaker 130 I just knew the tides were turning and it was.

Speaker 107 It was time for you to go.

Speaker 43 You mean like

Speaker 81 when I got back, I apologize.

Speaker 79 Oh, you did?

Speaker 29 Oh, okay.

Speaker 130 Well, you guys know how these trips go. I'm like.
Averaging four hours of sleep this week.

Speaker 46 Right. Yeah, that's fair.

Speaker 12 You guys work your asses off. It's not chill for the behind the scenes guys.

Speaker 130 shout out sound guy matt too who's been with us all week uh i was just hangry and i apologize yeah um can i tell you one discussion that happened when you left the table

Speaker 12 i mean you can tell me okay well i would like your take on it because we had theories okay in a hypothetical world we were saying if shane showed up today so we were saying tomorrow when we start taping with a gun and he was going to kill all of us who would he kill in what order and we we were all very much...

Speaker 5 Memes would be killed first, without a doubt.

Speaker 20 Is that fair?

Speaker 88 This is hypothetical. This is hypothetical.
This is hypothetical.

Speaker 43 You're asking me.

Speaker 101 Yeah, this is hypothetical. It's a crazy hypothetical.

Speaker 81 I don't know how to respond.

Speaker 32 I think it was Memes Max.

Speaker 81 You're asking who I would kill first?

Speaker 50 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 52 Come on, it's a fun hypothetical.

Speaker 48 Memes Max.

Speaker 38 Was it Hank? We said Hank, but then Hank was like, no, I think you'd go Pug.

Speaker 20 Pug, would you go Pug?

Speaker 130 I would kill myself before I killed him.

Speaker 29 No.

Speaker 37 Oh, wow.

Speaker 48 But definitely you'd kill memes first.

Speaker 50 I'm not. I'm all right.

Speaker 38 Gun to your head. Gun to your head.

Speaker 43 No answer is yet.

Speaker 5 Gun to your head, yeah.

Speaker 50 No answer is a yes. Gun to your head, yeah.
I don't know. I haven't thought about this.

Speaker 91 All right, you're thinking about it now. It's the it's a who'd you kill in this room first?

Speaker 50 It's a pretty big hypothetical. Like

Speaker 72 you guys, like the all right, I'll go.

Speaker 124 You know what? If you don't want to do it, I'll go.

Speaker 4 I would, if I, if I had to kill someone in this room, I'd kill sound guy Matt first.

Speaker 31 We could afford to lose him.

Speaker 32 Shane, who would you? It would be me.

Speaker 130 I don't know.

Speaker 81 Like, maybe. I don't know.

Speaker 125 Go for a collateral.

Speaker 101 That's a yes. That's a yes, right, Max.

Speaker 119 Yeah, it's for sure me. And I think you're too.

Speaker 86 For sure, too.

Speaker 86 Yeah.

Speaker 80 The only other person.

Speaker 42 Yes, I am for sure, too.

Speaker 51 I'm for sure.

Speaker 41 And the hypothetical then got to the point where you killed everyone but spared Zach.

Speaker 27 And then Zach started apologizing

Speaker 12 to the staff being like, I'm sorry, they made a mess with this blood.

Speaker 59 Like, I'll clean it up.

Speaker 38 You had to leave one guy alive to tell the tale. Yeah.
Tell everyone else what happened here. That would be Zach.
That would be Zach.

Speaker 81 I tell it's trade Shane.

Speaker 77 They were busted as balls at dinner.

Speaker 60 They deserved it.

Speaker 5 It was justified homicide.

Speaker 38 We're cool with Pug now, right?

Speaker 130 Yeah, like, like I said, I didn't even hear what Pug said.

Speaker 101 Okay,

Speaker 120 no? No.

Speaker 29 Okay. Okay.
All right. Well, then, there we go.

Speaker 32 We got to the bottom of it.

Speaker 38 What about French onion soup?

Speaker 125 Never had it.

Speaker 38 Oh, yeah, Shane had his first burrito this week. Yep.

Speaker 31 Shane, would you be open to doing a video series, short video series, of you trying things?

Speaker 13 Because I think you would like some of these things.

Speaker 51 Yeah.

Speaker 29 Okay. All right.

Speaker 9 Maybe we'll do that. Like, what are what are the some of the things you

Speaker 30 all right? We'll do onions.

Speaker 1 We'll do You've Never Had a Peach.

Speaker 8 Anal.

Speaker 41 You know, random shit.

Speaker 90 Just throw it out there.

Speaker 54 Shane tries.

Speaker 17 All right.

Speaker 20 I'm happy that we've, that the moment has passed.

Speaker 118 Yeah.

Speaker 44 We, yeah.

Speaker 35 It was, it was a good dinner.

Speaker 34 It was a good dinner. It was a great dinner.

Speaker 38 But yeah, you did leap up. I thought you were going to flip the table over.
And then that got me thinking about Jesus flipping tables over. And I was like, that's not that chill.
Yeah.

Speaker 51 Bad pick.

Speaker 92 Yeah.

Speaker 60 Not possible. Chill week.

Speaker 107 Hey, listen, chill week.

Speaker 18 We still work on chill week.

Speaker 66 Hot dog.

Speaker 38 Hank beat me in the long drive competition.

Speaker 114 Did he? I don't know.

Speaker 51 Oh, you think it's going to be close?

Speaker 38 I think Hank's got a shot.

Speaker 14 I got

Speaker 53 as good of a shot as I could have possibly hoped for.

Speaker 3 We get five shots each.

Speaker 38 That's the problem.

Speaker 114 Yeah.

Speaker 38 My back is fucked, Hank.

Speaker 49 All right, wait, what was your number?

Speaker 8 PFD, you had three? I took number three. And then

Speaker 53 I had 77.
